In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_pmem: add the missing REQ_OP_WRITE for flush bio
When doing mkfs.xfs on a pmem device, the following warning was
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 384 at block/blk-core.c:751 submit_bio_noacct

CPU: 2 PID: 384 Comm: mkfs.xfs Not tainted 6.4.0-rc7+ #154

The root cause is that submit_bio_noacct() needs bio_op() is either
WRITE or ZONE_APPEND for flush bio and async_pmem_flush() doesn't assign
REQ_OP_WRITE when allocating flush bio, so submit_bio_noacct just fail
the flush bio.
Simply fix it by adding the missing REQ_OP_WRITE for flush bio. And we
could fix the flush order issue and do flush optimization later.
A flaw was discovered in the virtio_pmem driver in the Linux kernel, where flush block I/O requests did not have the required REQ_OP_WRITE operation code assigned before submission. Under workloads involving persistent memory block devices — for example, running mkfs.xfs on a pmem device,this omission can lead to bio submission warnings and improper block I/O handling.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
