This rcu context will help protect rdev won't be released, but rdev->mddev will be set to NULL before we call synchronize_rcu in md_kick_rdev_from_array. Fix this by using READ_ONCE and check does rdev->mddev still alive.
Отчет
A race in the MD subsystem allowed rdev_addable() to dereference rdev->mddev after it had been cleared to NULL while still in an RCU read section, leading to a kernel NULL-pointer dereference and crash during md_start_sync. Triggering typically requires privileged MD/RAID operations (e.g., reconfiguration/resync), so the issue is local with high privileges but results in high availability impact (DoS). Privilege Required is rated High because exploiting this bug requires administrative rights to configure or manage MD/RAID arrays; regular unprivileged users cannot normally trigger this code path.
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.
