That made\nmddev_detach() skip bitmap_ops->wait_behind_writes(), because the bitmap\nwas already disconnected from mddev.\n\nThis was still safe for the legacy bitmap because bitmap_destroy() waits\nfor behind writes itself. llbitmap keeps that wait in its\n->wait_behind_writes() operation instead, while ->destroy() tears down the\nllbitmap storage. With the old ordering, RAID1 behind-write completions\ncould still run after llbitmap storage had been freed.\n\nCall mddev_detach() before md_bitmap_destroy() so the common detach path\ncan wait for behind writes while the bitmap is still alive. Only destroy\nthe bitmap after those users are gone."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/md/md.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5ab829f1971dc99f2aac10846c378e67fc875abc","lessThan":"73881ff7a75913f919a1ce9d9571bfaab8e8588d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5ab829f1971dc99f2aac10846c378e67fc875abc","lessThan":"4224dccd325a9380e8edfb66aad8bb5771c94222","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5ab829f1971dc99f2aac10846c378e67fc875abc","lessThan":"2a79365b2278f16e163e4024086105693b421601","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/md/md.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.18","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.18","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.52","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.6","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc1","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.18","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.52"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.18","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.18","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/73881ff7a75913f919a1ce9d9571bfaab8e8588d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4224dccd325a9380e8edfb66aad8bb5771c94222"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2a79365b2278f16e163e4024086105693b421601"}],"title":"md: wait for behind writes before destroying bitmap","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
