Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's md/bitmap component. This vulnerability involves a use-after-free race condition that occurs during array resize operations. When the `bitmap_daemon_work()` and `__bitmap_resize()` functions execute concurrently, they can access memory pages that have already been freed. This can lead to a General Protection Fault (GPF), which causes the system to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-06 13:02:06 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

md/bitmap: fix GPF in write_page caused by resize race

A General Protection Fault occurs in write_page() during array resize:
RIP: 0010:write_page+0x22b/0x3c0 [md_mod]

This is a use-after-free race between bitmap_daemon_work() and
__bitmap_resize(). The daemon iterates over `bitmap->storage.filemap`
without locking, while the resize path frees that storage via
md_bitmap_file_unmap(). `quiesce()` does not stop the md thread,
allowing concurrent access to freed pages.

Fix by holding `mddev->bitmap_info.mutex` during the bitmap update.
