In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-mq: set RQF_USE_SCHED when the operation is known
The cached requests are allocated for one operation but can be handed
out for another. A passthrough command has RQF_USE_SCHED cleared, so
using those flags for a subsequent read/write bio will insert it into
the scheduler without ->prepare_request() and frees it without
->finish_request(). For kyber, this leaks the domain token acquired at
dispatch and stalls the queue.
Don't set RQF_USE_SCHED based on the first operation the batch happened
to be allocated for. Instead, set it after the request is claimed by an
operation. Introduce a helper function, blk_mq_rq_late_init() for this,
and absorb blk_mq_rq_time_init() since the two run together.
