Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix NULL pointer dereference in __dm_suspend()
There is a race condition between dm device suspend and table load that
can lead to null pointer dereference. The issue occurs when suspend is
invoked before table load completes:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000054
Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
CPU: 6 PID: 6798 Comm: dmsetup Not tainted 6.6.0-g7e52f5f0ca9b #62
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.1-2.fc37 04/01/2014
RIP: 0010:blk_mq_wait_quiesce_done+0x0/0x50
Call Trace:

The issue can be triggered as below:
T1 T2
dm_suspend table_load
__dm_suspend dm_setup_md_queue
dm_mq_init_request_queue
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue
=> q->mq_ops = set->ops; (1)
dm_stop_queue / dm_wait_for_completion
=> q->tag_set NULL pointer! (2)
=> q->tag_set = set; (3)
Fix this by checking if a valid table (map) exists before performing
request-based suspend and waiting for target I/O. When map is NULL,
skip these table-dependent suspend steps.
Even when map is NULL, no I/O can reach any target because there is
no table loaded; I/O submitted in this state will fail early in the
DM layer. Skipping the table-dependent suspend logic in this case
is safe and avoids NULL pointer dereferences.
