In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: call the resume method on internal suspend
There is this reported crash when experimenting with the lvm2 testsuite.
The list corruption is caused by the fact that the postsuspend and resume
methods were not paired correctly; there were two consecutive calls to the
origin_postsuspend function. The second call attempts to remove the
"hash_list" entry from a list, while it was already removed by the first
call.
Fix __dm_internal_resume so that it calls the preresume and resume
methods of the tables targets.
If a preresume method of some target fails, we are in a tricky situation.
We cant return an error because dm_internal_resume isnt supposed to
return errors. We cant return success, because then the "resume" and
"postsuspend" methods would not be paired correctly. So, we set the
DMF_SUSPENDED flag and we fake normal suspend - it may confuse userspace
tools, but it wont cause a kernel crash.
