Estado: AplazadaSin puntuar—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-cgroup: fix possible deadlock while configuring policy
Following deadlock can be triggered easily by lockdep:
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 6.17.0-rc3-00124-ga12c2658ced0 #1665 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ check/1334 is trying to acquire lock: ff1100011d9d0678 (&q->sysfs_lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: blk_unregister_queue+0x53/0x180
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

Possible unsafe locking scenario:
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
Root cause is that queue_usage_counter is grabbed with rq_qos_mutex held in blkg_conf_prep(), while queue should be freezed before rq_qos_mutex from other context.
The blk_queue_enter() from blkg_conf_prep() is used to protect against policy deactivation, which is already protected with blkcg_mutex, hence convert blk_queue_enter() to blkcg_mutex to fix this problem. Meanwhile, consider that blkcg_mutex is held after queue is freezed from policy deactivation, also convert blkg_alloc() to use GFP_NOIO.
