With concurrent suspend sysfs\nwrites, task A can enter PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO, return to userspace still in\nthat scope, and later task B can restore A's saved token.\n\nAvoid tying the token lifetime to mddev. Keep mddev_suspend() and\nmddev_resume() only responsible for array suspension, and enter\nPF_MEMALLOC_NOIO only in the MD paths that allocate memory after the array\nhas been suspended. Restore the token before resuming the array.\n\nA reproducer repeatedly writes suspend_lo and suspend_hi from concurrent\nworkers and checks each worker's /proc/self/stat flags before and after the\nsysfs write."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/md/md-bitmap.c","drivers/md/md.c","drivers/md/md.h","drivers/md/raid5.c"],"versions":[{"version":"78f57ef9d50a75326da73d352d7c27828495229a","lessThan":"72ebfdf507ede7d7f2b7ca0a5634811a0e4bf045","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"78f57ef9d50a75326da73d352d7c27828495229a","lessThan":"28fdea874f68cac6c36651b1fc7272fd2199c48d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"78f57ef9d50a75326da73d352d7c27828495229a","lessThan":"a58923756b0f8e71032070c23ae0b167e46731da","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"78f57ef9d50a75326da73d352d7c27828495229a","lessThan":"bace2010dd7ac07bc980575afb135c406730a7fe","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-bitmap.c","drivers/md/md.c","drivers/md/md.h","drivers/md/raid5.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.8","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.8","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.110","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","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":"5.8","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.110"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.8","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.52"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.8","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.8","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/72ebfdf507ede7d7f2b7ca0a5634811a0e4bf045"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/28fdea874f68cac6c36651b1fc7272fd2199c48d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a58923756b0f8e71032070c23ae0b167e46731da"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bace2010dd7ac07bc980575afb135c406730a7fe"}],"title":"md: scope memalloc_noio to allocation critical sections","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
