The commit also broke error handling for out_dax case\nin device add path, resulting in an extra put_device() w/o the previous\nget_device() in that case.\n\nThis lead to stale xarray entries after device add / remove cycles. In the\ncase when a previously used struct gendisk pointer (xarray index) would be\nused again, because blk_alloc_disk() happened to return such a pointer, the\nxa_insert() in dax_add_host() would fail and go to out_dax, doing the extra\nput_device() in the error path. In combination with an already flawed error\nhandling in dcssblk (device_register() cleanup), which needs to be\naddressed in a separate patch, this resulted in a missing device_del() /\nklist_del(), and eventually in the kernel crash with list_add corruption on\na subsequent device_add() / klist_add().\n\nFix this by adding the missing dax_remove_host() calls, and also move the\nput_device() in the error path to restore the previous logic." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/s390/block/dcssblk.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "fb08a1908cb119a4585611d91461ab6d27756b14", "lessThan": "6489ec0107860345bc57dcde39e63dfb05ac5c11", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fb08a1908cb119a4585611d91461ab6d27756b14", "lessThan": "b7ad75c77349beb4983b9f27108d9b3f33ae1413", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fb08a1908cb119a4585611d91461ab6d27756b14", "lessThan": "b5c531a9a7d8e047c90c909f09cef06a9f8e62f4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fb08a1908cb119a4585611d91461ab6d27756b14", "lessThan": "c8f40a0bccefd613748d080147469a4652d6e74c", "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/s390/block/dcssblk.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.17", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.17", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.53", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.4.16", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.4.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.5.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.5.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6", "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": "5.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.53" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.4.16" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.5.3" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6489ec0107860345bc57dcde39e63dfb05ac5c11" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b7ad75c77349beb4983b9f27108d9b3f33ae1413" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b5c531a9a7d8e047c90c909f09cef06a9f8e62f4" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c8f40a0bccefd613748d080147469a4652d6e74c" } ], "title": "s390/dcssblk: fix kernel crash with list_add corruption", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
