"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nblock: fix race between wbt_enable_default and IO submission\n\nWhen wbt_enable_default() is moved out of queue freezing in elevator_change(),\nit can cause the wbt inflight counter to become negative (-1), leading to hung\ntasks in the writeback path. Tasks get stuck in wbt_wait() because the counter\nis in an inconsistent state.\n\nThe issue occurs because wbt_enable_default() could race with IO submission,\nallowing the counter to be decremented before proper initialization. This manifests\nas:\n\n rq_wait[0]:\n inflight: -1\n has_waiters: True\n\nrwb_enabled() checks the state, which can be updated exactly between wbt_wait()\n(rq_qos_throttle()) and wbt_track()(rq_qos_track()), then the inflight counter\nwill become negative.\n\nAnd results in hung task warnings like:\n task:kworker/u24:39 state:D stack:0 pid:14767\n Call Trace:\n rq_qos_wait+0xb4/0x150\n wbt_wait+0xa9/0x100\n __rq_qos_throttle+0x24/0x40\n blk_mq_submit_bio+0x672/0x7b0\n ...\n\nFix this by:\n\n1. Splitting wbt_enable_default() into:\n - __wbt_enable_default(): Returns true if wbt_init() should be called\n - wbt_enable_default(): Wrapper for existing callers (no init)\n - wbt_init_enable_default(): New function that checks and inits WBT\n\n2. Using wbt_init_enable_default() in blk_register_queue() to ensure\n proper initialization during queue registration\n\n3. Move wbt_init() out of wbt_enable_default() which is only for enabling\n disabled wbt from bfq and iocost, and wbt_init() isn't needed. Then the\n original lock warning can be avoided.\n\n4. Removing the ELEVATOR_FLAG_ENABLE_WBT_ON_EXIT flag and its handling\n code since it's no longer needed\n\nThis ensures WBT is properly initialized before any IO can be submitted,\npreventing the counter from going negative."
