In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Remove queue freezing from several sysfs store callbacks
Freezing the request queue from inside sysfs store callbacks may cause a
deadlock in combination with the dm-multipath driver and the
queue_if_no_path option. Additionally, freezing the request queue slows
down system boot on systems where sysfs attributes are set synchronously.
Fix this by removing the blk_mq_freeze_queue() / blk_mq_unfreeze_queue()
calls from the store callbacks that do not strictly need these callbacks.
Add the __data_racy annotation to request_queue.rq_timeout to suppress
KCSAN data race reports about the rq_timeout reads.
This patch may cause a small delay in applying the new settings.
For all the attributes affected by this patch, I/O will complete
correctly whether the old or the new value of the attribute is used.
This patch affects the following sysfs attributes:
* io_poll_delay
* io_timeout
* nomerges
* read_ahead_kb
* rq_affinity
Here is an example of a deadlock triggered by running test srp/002
if this patch is not applied:
