AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions. The vendor advisory confirms that this issue has been fixed. Users should update to the patched kernel versions to resolve the deadlock issue.
Description
A deadlock vulnerability in the Linux kernel's md/raid1 and raid10 subsystems was fixed. The issue occurred during read error recovery when raid1d and raid10d could resubmit a cloned bio that already held an active_io reference, potentially causing a deadlock if the array was suspended before acquiring another reference. The fix involved changing the reference acquisition method to prevent this deadlock.
