Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: limit target bio polling to one shot
dm_poll_bio() is the ->poll_bio() callback for a stacked dm device.
The caller only knows about the dm queue, so it may decide to do a
spinning poll if it thinks a single queue is being polled. Passing those
flags unchanged to the mapped clone lets blk_mq_poll() spin on a target
queue from inside dm_poll_bio().
With io_uring IOPOLL on a dm-stripe target this can keep a task in
dm_poll_bio() -> bio_poll() -> blk_mq_poll()
long enough to trigger an RCU CPU stall, before io_uring gets back to
io_iopoll_check() and its need_resched() check.
Keep dm's ->poll_bio() bounded by forcing one-shot polling for target
bios. The caller can invoke dm_poll_bio() again if it wants to keep
polling, and it also gets a chance to reap completions or reschedule
between passes.
