      <title>CVE-2026-43309 — md raid: fix hang when stopping arrays with metadata through dm-raid</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-43309</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;md raid: fix hang when stopping arrays with metadata through dm-raid&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When using device-mapper&amp;#39;s dm-raid target, stopping a RAID array can cause
the system to hang under specific conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This occurs when:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- A dm-raid managed device tree is suspended from top to bottom
   (the top-level RAID device is suspended first, followed by its
    underlying metadata and data devices)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- The top-level RAID device is then removed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Removing the top-level device triggers a hang in the following sequence:
the dm-raid destructor calls md_stop(), which tries to flush the
write-intent bitmap by writing to the metadata sub-devices. However, these
devices are already suspended, making them unable to complete the write-intent
operations and causing an indefinite block.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Prevent bitmap flushing when md_stop() is called from dm-raid
destructor context
  and avoid a quiescing/unquescing cycle which could also cause I/O&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Still allow write-intent bitmap flushing when called from dm-raid
suspend context&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This ensures that RAID array teardown can complete successfully even when the
underlying devices are in a suspended state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This second patch uses md_is_rdwr() to distinguish between suspend and
destructor paths as elaborated on above.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
