In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ublk: fix deadlock when reading partition table
When one process(such as udev) opens ublk block device (e.g., to read the partition table via bdev_open()), a deadlock[1] can occur:
- bdev_open() grabs disk->open_mutex
- The process issues read I/O to ublk backend to read partition table
- In __ublk_complete_rq(), blk_update_request() or blk_mq_end_request() runs bio->bi_end_io() callbacks
- If this triggers fput() on file descriptor of ublk block device, the work may be deferred to current task's task work (see fput() implementation)
- This eventually calls blkdev_release() from the same context
- blkdev_release() tries to grab disk->open_mutex again
- Deadlock: same task waiting for a mutex it already holds
The fix is to run blk_update_request() and blk_mq_end_request() with bottom halves disabled. This forces blkdev_release() to run in kernel work-queue context instead of current task work context...
