Feb 21, 2024 cve

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Revert \md/raid5: Wait for MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING in raid5d\n This reverts commit 5e2cf333b7bd5d3e62595a44d598a254c697cd74.

That commit introduced the following race and can cause system hung.

md_write_start: raid5d: // mddev->in_sync == 1 set \MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING\n // running before md_write_start wakeup it waiting \MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING\ cleared »»»»> hung wakeup mddev->thread … waiting \MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING\ cleared

hung raid5d should clear this flag but get hung by same flag.

The issue reverted commit fixing is fixed by last patch in a new way.
