CVE-2024-35808 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/dm-raid: don\'t call md_reap_sync_thread() directly
Currently md_reap_sync_thread() is called from raid_message() directly
without holding \'reconfig_mutex\', this is definitely unsafe because
md_reap_sync_thread() can change many fields that is protected by
\'reconfig_mutex\'.
However, hold \'reconfig_mutex\' here is still problematic because this
will cause deadlock, for example, commit 130443d60b1b ("md: refactor
idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock").
Fix this problem by using stop_sync_thread() to unregister sync_thread,
like md/raid did.
