In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: core: Avoid possible memory reclaim deadlock in TX EQTR context
TX EQTR may run while devfreq gear scaling has quiesced the UFS tagset. In that context, functions ufshcd_tx_eqtr(), __ufshcd_tx_eqtr() and ufs_qcom_get_rx_fom() allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL. If direct reclaim is triggered, reclaim/writeback can depend on I/O to UFS device. Because the queue is quiesced, this can cause deadlock.
Use memalloc_noio_save/restore() in ufshcd_tx_eqtr() to cover all allocations in the TX EQTR call tree, including:
- params->eqtr_record in ufshcd_tx_eqtr()
- eqtr_data in __ufshcd_tx_eqtr()
- params in ufs_qcom_get_rx_fom()
This is preferred over tagging individual call sites with GFP_NOIO, as it automatically covers any future allocations added anywhere in the call tree without requiring each caller to be aware of this constraint.
[mkp: fix label as suggested by Bart]
