Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-15 15:09:49 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nbd: Fix hung when signal interrupts nbd_start_device_ioctl()

syzbot reported hung task [1].  The following program is a simplified
version of the reproducer:

int main(void)
{
	int sv[2], fd;

	if (socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, sv) < 0)
		return 1;
	if ((fd = open("/dev/nbd0", 0)) < 0)
		return 1;
	if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS, 0x81) < 0)
		return 1;
	if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SOCK, sv[0]) < 0)
		return 1;
	if (ioctl(fd, NBD_DO_IT) < 0)
		return 1;
	return 0;
}

When signal interrupt nbd_start_device_ioctl() waiting the condition
atomic_read(&config->recv_threads) == 0, the task can hung because it
waits the completion of the inflight IOs.

This patch fixes the issue by clearing queue, not just shutdown, when
signal interrupt nbd_start_device_ioctl().
