Severity ?

5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Details

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

block: mark GFP_NOIO around sysfs ->store()

sysfs ->store is called with queue freezed, meantime we have several ->store() callbacks(update_nr_requests, wbt, scheduler) to allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL which may run into direct reclaim code path, then potential deadlock can be caused.

Fix the issue by marking NOIO around sysfs ->store()
