Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

blk-mq: cancel blk-mq dispatch work in both blk_cleanup_queue and disk_release()

For avoiding to slow down queue destroy, we don't call
blk_mq_quiesce_queue() in blk_cleanup_queue(), instead of delaying to
cancel dispatch work in blk_release_queue().

However, this way has caused kernel oops[1], reported by Changhui. The log
shows that scsi_device can be freed before running blk_release_queue(),
which is expected too since scsi_device is released after the scsi disk
is closed and the scsi_device is removed.

Fixes the issue by canceling blk-mq dispatch work in both blk_cleanup_queue()
and disk_release():

1) when disk_release() is run, the disk has been closed, and any sync
dispatch activities have been done, so canceling dispatch work is enough to
quiesce filesystem I/O dispatch activity.

2) in blk_cleanup_queue(), we only focus on passthrough request, and
passthrough request is always explicitly allocated & freed by
its caller, so once queue is frozen, all sync dispatch activity
for passthrough request has been done, then it is enough to just cancel
dispatch work for avoiding any dispatch activity.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: blk-mq: cancela el trabajo de envío de blk-mq tanto en blk_cleanup_queue como en disk_release() Para evitar ralentizar la destrucción de la cola, no llamamos a blk_mq_quiesce_queue() en blk_cleanup_queue(). en lugar de retrasar la cancelación del trabajo de envío en blk_release_queue(). Sin embargo, esta forma ha provocado errores en el kernel[1], según informó Changhui. El registro muestra que scsi_device se puede liberar antes de ejecutar blk_release_queue(), lo cual también se espera ya que scsi_device se libera después de que se cierra el disco scsi y se elimina scsi_device. Soluciona el problema cancelando el trabajo de envío de blk-mq tanto en blk_cleanup_queue() como en disk_release(): 1) cuando se ejecuta disk_release(), el disco se ha cerrado y se han realizado todas las actividades de envío de sincronización, por lo que cancelar el trabajo de envío es suficiente para inmovilizar la actividad de envío de E/S del sistema de archivos. 2) en blk_cleanup_queue(), solo nos centramos en la solicitud de paso a través, y la persona que llama siempre asigna y libera explícitamente la solicitud de paso a través, por lo que una vez que la cola se congela, se ha realizado toda la actividad de envío de sincronización para la solicitud de paso a través, entonces es suficiente con simplemente cancelar el trabajo de despacho para evitar cualquier actividad de despacho.
