In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_pmem: add the missing REQ_OP_WRITE for flush bio
When doing mkfs.xfs on a pmem device, the following warning was
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 384 at block/blk-core.c:751 submit_bio_noacct
Modules linked in:
CPU: 2 PID: 384 Comm: mkfs.xfs Not tainted 6.4.0-rc7+ #154
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
RIP: 0010:submit_bio_noacct+0x340/0x520
......
Call Trace:
The root cause is that submit_bio_noacct() needs bio_op() is either WRITE or ZONE_APPEND for flush bio and async_pmem_flush() doesn't assign REQ_OP_WRITE when allocating flush bio, so submit_bio_noacct just fail the flush bio.
Simply fix it by adding the missing REQ_OP_WRITE for flush bio. And we could fix the flush order issue and do flush optimization later.
