In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dm: don't attempt to queue IO under RCU protection

dm looks up the table for IO based on the request type, with an assumption that if the request is marked REQ_NOWAIT, it's fine to attempt to submit that IO while under RCU read lock protection. This is not OK, as REQ_NOWAIT just means that we should not be sleeping waiting on other IO, it does not mean that we can't potentially schedule.

A simple test case demonstrates this quite nicely:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { struct iovec iov; int fd;

fd = open("/dev/dm-0", O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT); posix_memalign(&iov.iov_base, 4096, 4096); iov.iov_len = 4096; preadv2(fd, &iov, 1, 0, RWF_NOWAIT); return 0; }

which will instantly spew:
