This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dm-delay: fix a race between delay_presuspend and delay_bio to the 6.1-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: dm-delay-fix-a-race-between-delay_presuspend-and-del.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f26d1c98b5333c59bc7b8cd11a683ee5c64b6a52 Author: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 29 13:38:43 2023 -0500 dm-delay: fix a race between delay_presuspend and delay_bio [ Upstream commit 6fc45b6ed921dc00dfb264dc08c7d67ee63d2656 ] In delay_presuspend, we set the atomic variable may_delay and then stop the timer and flush pending bios. The intention here is to prevent the delay target from re-arming the timer again. However, this test is racy. Suppose that one thread goes to delay_bio, sees that dc->may_delay is one and proceeds; now, another thread executes delay_presuspend, it sets dc->may_delay to zero, deletes the timer and flushes pending bios. Then, the first thread continues and adds the bio to delayed->list despite the fact that dc->may_delay is false. Fix this bug by changing may_delay's type from atomic_t to bool and only access it while holding the delayed_bios_lock mutex. Note that we don't have to grab the mutex in delay_resume because there are no bios in flight at this point.
