Subject: [PATCH] block: avoid use-after-free in disk_free_zone_resources()
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 20:56:22 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522115622.588535-1-dlemoal@kernel.org> (raw)
The function disk_update_zone_resources() may call
disk_free_zone_resources() in case of error, and following this,
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() will again calls disk_free_zone_resources() if
disk_update_zone_resources() failed. If a zone worker thread is being used
(which is the default for a rotational media zoned device),
disk_free_zone_resources() will try to stop the zone worker thread twice
because disk->zone_wplugs_worker is not reset to NULL when the worker
thread is stopped the first time.
In disk_free_zone_resources(), fix this by correctly clearing
disk->zone_wplugs_worker to NULL when the worker thread is stopped.
And while at it, since disk_free_zone_resources() is always called after a
failed call to disk_update_zone_resources(), remove the unnecessary call
to disk_free_zone_resources() in disk_update_zone_resources().
Fixes: 1365b6904fd0 ("block: allow submitting all zone writes from a single context")
