Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: Fix a deadlock in the error handler
The following deadlock has been observed on a test setup:
- All tags allocated
- The SCSI error handler calls ufshcd_eh_host_reset_handler()
- ufshcd_eh_host_reset_handler() queues work that calls ufshcd_err_handler()
- ufshcd_err_handler() locks up as follows:
Workqueue: ufs_eh_wq_0 ufshcd_err_handler.cfi_jt Call trace: __switch_to+0x298/0x5d8 __schedule+0x6cc/0xa94 schedule+0x12c/0x298 blk_mq_get_tag+0x210/0x480 __blk_mq_alloc_request+0x1c8/0x284 blk_get_request+0x74/0x134 ufshcd_exec_dev_cmd+0x68/0x640 ufshcd_verify_dev_init+0x68/0x35c ufshcd_probe_hba+0x12c/0x1cb8 ufshcd_host_reset_and_restore+0x88/0x254 ufshcd_reset_and_restore+0xd0/0x354 ufshcd_err_handler+0x408/0xc58 process_one_work+0x24c/0x66c worker_thread+0x3e8/0xa4c kthread+0x150/0x1b4 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x30
Fix this lockup by making ufshcd_exec_dev_cmd() allocate a reserved request.
