"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndm cache: fix issue with background work locking\n\ndm cache used a rw_semaphore for background_work_lock. Write locks on\nrw_semaphores have strict owner semantics, but there was no guarantee\nthat the process that locked background_work_lock was the same process\nthat unlocked it. This can be easily seen using a kernel compiled with\nCONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS. Given a dm cache device <cache>, run: 'dmsetup\nsuspend <cache> && dmsetup resume <cache>'. This will trigger a kernel\nwarning:\n\nDEBUG_RWSEMS_WARN_ON((rwsem_owner(sem) != current) && !rwsem_test_oflags(sem, RWSEM_NONSPINNABLE))\n\ntriggered by cache_resume(). To fix this, switch from a rw_semaphore to\na spinlock and a wait queue. dm cache already has a wait queue and\nassociated counter, migration_wait and nr_allocated_migrations, that was\ngetting woken up when background work was getting completed, but wasn't\nactually used by anything. This is replaced by the background_work queue\nand counter."
