      "title": "ublk: fix deadlock when reading partition table",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nublk: fix deadlock when reading partition table\n\nWhen one process(such as udev) opens ublk block device (e.g., to read\nthe partition table via bdev_open()), a deadlock[1] can occur:\n\n1. bdev_open() grabs disk->open_mutex\n2. The process issues read I/O to ublk backend to read partition table\n3. In __ublk_complete_rq(), blk_update_request() or blk_mq_end_request()\n   runs bio->bi_end_io() callbacks\n4. If this triggers fput() on file descriptor of ublk block device, the\n   work may be deferred to current task's task work (see fput() implementation)\n5. This eventually calls blkdev_release() from the same context\n6. blkdev_release() tries to grab disk->open_mutex again\n7. Deadlock: same task waiting for a mutex it already holds\n\nThe fix is to run blk_update_request() and blk_mq_end_request() with bottom\nhalves disabled. This forces blkdev_release() to run in kernel work-queue\ncontext instead of current task work context, and allows ublk server to make\nforward progress, and avoids the deadlock.\n\n[axboe: rewrite comment in ublk]",
