CVE-2023-53791 — md: fix warning for holder mismatch from export_rdev()

Affected: Linux

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

md: fix warning for holder mismatch from export_rdev()

Commit a1d767191096 ("md: use mddev->external to select holder in export_rdev()") fix the problem that 'claim_rdev' is used for blkdev_get_by_dev() while 'rdev' is used for blkdev_put().

However, if mddev->external is changed from 0 to 1, then 'rdev' is used for blkdev_get_by_dev() while 'claim_rdev' is used for blkdev_put(). And this problem can be reporduced reliably by following:

New file: mdadm/tests/23rdev-lifetime

devname=${dev0##*/} devt=`cat /sys/block/$devname/dev` pid="" runtime=2

clean_up_test() { pill -9 $pid echo clear > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state }

trap 'clean_up_test' EXIT

add_by_sysfs() { while true; do echo $devt > /sys/block/md0/md/new_dev done }

remove_by_sysfs(){ while true; do echo remove > /sys/block/md0/md/dev-${devname}/state done }

echo md0 > /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/new_array || die "create md0 failed"

add_by_sysfs & pid="$pid $!"

remove_by_sysfs & pid="$pid $!"

sleep $runtime exit 0

Test cmd:

./test --save-logs --logdir=/tmp/ --keep-going --dev=loop --tests=23rdev-lifetime

Test result:
