  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nblock: fix deadlock between bd_link_disk_holder and partition scan\n'open_mutex' of gendisk is used to protect open/close block devices. But\nin bd_link_disk_holder(), it is used to protect the creation of symlink\nbetween holding disk and slave bdev, which introduces some issues.\nWhen bd_link_disk_holder() is called, the driver is usually in the process\nof initialization/modification and may suspend submitting io. At this\ntime, any io hold 'open_mutex', such as scanning partitions, can cause\ndeadlocks. For example, in raid:\nT1                              T2\nbdev_open_by_dev\nlock open_mutex [1]\n...\nefi_partition\n...\nmd_submit_bio\nmd_ioctl mddev_syspend\n-> suspend all io\nmd_add_new_disk\nbind_rdev_to_array\nbd_link_disk_holder\ntry lock open_mutex [2]\nmd_handle_request\n-> wait mddev_resume\nT1 scan partition, T2 add a new device to raid. T1 waits for T2 to resume\nmddev, but T2 waits for open_mutex held by T1. Deadlock occurs.\nFix it by introducing a local mutex 'blk_holder_mutex' to replace\n'open_mutex'.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where a deadlock can occur between bd_link_disk_holder and partition scan." ],
