      <title>CVE-2026-72438 — md/raid10: fix writes_pending and barrier reference leaks on discard failures</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-72438</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/raid10: fix writes_pending and barrier reference leaks on discard failures&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;raid10_make_request() acquires a writes_pending reference with
md_write_start() before calling raid10_handle_discard(). Several failure
paths in raid10_handle_discard() complete the bio and return without
releasing the corresponding reference, causing md_write_end() to be
skipped.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Call md_write_end() before returning from these failure paths to keep
writes_pending accounting balanced.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally, discard split allocation failures can occur after
wait_barrier() succeeds. Those paths return without calling
allow_barrier(), leaking the associated barrier reference.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Release the barrier before returning from those paths.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
