Summary

In the Linux kernel, a potential deadlock was found in the mpi3mr driver in mpi3mr_fault_uevent_emit(). This function runs from the fault watchdog and reset paths where host I/O may already be blocked. GFP_KERNEL allocations, both local and inside kobject_uevent_env(), can trigger reclaim that waits on blocked I/O and deadlocks.

Risk Assessment

A deadlock can cause system hang or driver failure, leading to unavailability of storage devices and potential data loss.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that uses memalloc_noio_save()/restore() around the whole call to avoid deadlock. Update the system to a kernel version containing this fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: mpi3mr: Fix potential deadlock in mpi3mr_fault_uevent_emit mpi3mr_fault_uevent_emit() runs from the fault watchdog and reset paths where host I/O may already be blocked. GFP_KERNEL allocations here, both the local kzalloc_obj() and the ones inside kobject_uevent_env() itself, can trigger reclaim that waits on that blocked I/O and deadlock. Use memalloc_noio_save()/restore() to cover the whole call instead of just the local allocation.
