In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: scope memalloc_noio to allocation critical sections
Storing a memalloc_noio_save() token in mddev->noio_flags lets one task
save the token and another task restore it. With concurrent suspend sysfs
writes, task A can enter PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO, return to userspace still in
that scope, and later task B can restore A's saved token.
Avoid tying the token lifetime to mddev. Keep mddev_suspend() and
mddev_resume() only responsible for array suspension, and enter
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO only in the MD paths that allocate memory after the array
has been suspended. Restore the token before resuming the array.
A reproducer repeatedly writes suspend_lo and suspend_hi from concurrent
workers and checks each worker's /proc/self/stat flags before and after the
sysfs write.
