Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm cache: fix write hang in passthrough mode
The invalidate_remove() function has incomplete logic for handling write
hit bios after cache invalidation. It sets up the remapping for the
overwrite_bio but then drops it immediately without submission, causing
write operations to hang.
Fix by adding a new invalidate_committed() continuation that submits
the remapped writes to the cache origin after metadata commit completes,
while using the overwrite_endio hook to ensure proper completion
sequencing. This maintains existing coherency. Also improve error
handling in invalidate_complete() to preserve the original error status
instead of using bio_io_error() unconditionally.
