Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid5-cache: fix null-ptr-deref for r5l_flush_stripe_to_raid()
r5l_flush_stripe_to_raid() will check if the list 'flushing_ios' is
empty, and then submit 'flush_bio', however, r5l_log_flush_endio()
is clearing the list first and then clear the bio, which will cause
null-ptr-deref:
T1: submit flush io
raid5d
handle_active_stripes
r5l_flush_stripe_to_raid
// list is empty
// add 'io_end_ios' to the list
bio_init
submit_bio
// io1
T2: io1 is done
r5l_log_flush_endio
list_splice_tail_init
// clear the list
T3: submit new flush io
...
r5l_flush_stripe_to_raid
// list is empty
// add 'io_end_ios' to the list
bio_init
bio_uninit
// clear bio->bi_blkg
submit_bio
// null-ptr-deref
Fix this problem by clearing bio before clearing the list in
r5l_log_flush_endio().
