This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nbd: Fix hung when signal interrupts nbd_start_device_ioctl() to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: nbd-fix-hung-when-signal-interrupts-nbd_start_device.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9c8215d1c2ee24dba0fef37a3da1145ea578b8b2 Author: Shigeru Yoshida <syoshida@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 8 01:35:02 2022 +0900 nbd: Fix hung when signal interrupts nbd_start_device_ioctl() [ Upstream commit 1de7c3cf48fc41cd95adb12bd1ea9033a917798a ] syzbot reported hung task [1]. The following program is a simplified version of the reproducer: int main(void) { int sv[2], fd; if (socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, sv) < 0) return 1; if ((fd = open("/dev/nbd0", 0)) < 0) return 1; if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS, 0x81) < 0) return 1; if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SOCK, sv[0]) < 0) return 1; if (ioctl(fd, NBD_DO_IT) < 0) return 1; return 0; } When signal interrupt nbd_start_device_ioctl() waiting the condition atomic_read(&config->recv_threads) == 0, the task can hung because it waits the completion of the inflight IOs. This patch fixes the issue by clearing queue, not just shutdown, when signal interrupt nbd_start_device_ioctl().
