CVE-2025-40134
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix NULL pointer dereference in __dm_suspend()
There is a race condition between dm device suspend and table load that can lead to null pointer dereference. The issue occurs when suspend is invoked before table load completes:
The issue can be triggered as below:
T1 T2 dm_suspend table_load __dm_suspend dm_setup_md_queue dm_mq_init_request_queue blk_mq_init_allocated_queue => q->mq_ops = set->ops; (1) dm_stop_queue / dm_wait_for_completion => q->tag_set NULL pointer! (2) => q->tag_set = set; (3)

Fix this by checking if a valid table (map) exists before performing request-based suspend and waiting for target I/O. When map is NULL, skip these table-dependent suspend steps.
Even when map is NULL, no I/O can reach any target because there is no table loaded; I/O submitted in this state will fail early in the DM layer. Skipping the table-dependent suspend logic in this case is safe and avoids NULL pointer dereferences.
