Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's device mapper I/O (dm-io) and RAID1 (dm-raid1) components. Incorrect error handling for non-retryable errors (such as BLK_STS_NOTSUPP and BLK_STS_INVAL) could lead to misbehavior when a user utilizes unaligned bio vectors on dm-raid1. This misbehavior could potentially cause instability or incorrect operation of the RAID array.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-11 22:45:48 UTC

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

dm-io: report non-retryable errors separatedly

The error codes BLK_STS_NOTSUPP and BLK_STS_INVAL should not cause leg
failure on dm-raid1. This patch changes the interface to dm-io, so that
it reports two error bitmaps - error_bits and unsup_bits. The unsup_bit
bitmap tracks BLK_STS_NOTSUPP or BLK_STS_INVAL errors, the error_bits
bitmap tracks all the other errors.

dm-raid1 is changed so that it won't fail a leg if it receives an error
in the unsup_bits bitmap.

This patch (with 62dc37a819a5) fixes misbehavior if the user uses
unaligned bio vectors on dm-raid1.
