Subject: CVE-2024-53689: block: Fix potential deadlock while freezing queue and acquiring sysfs_lock
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Fix potential deadlock while freezing queue and acquiring sysfs_lock
For storing a value to a queue attribute, the queue_attr_store function
first freezes the queue (->q_usage_counter(io)) and then acquire
->sysfs_lock. This seems not correct as the usual ordering should be to
acquire ->sysfs_lock before freezing the queue. This incorrect ordering
causes the following lockdep splat which we are able to reproduce always
simply by accessing /sys/kernel/debug file using ls command:

Prevent the above lockdep warning by acquiring ->sysfs_lock before
freezing the queue while storing a queue attribute in queue_attr_store
function. Later, we also found[1] another function __blk_mq_update_nr_
hw_queues where we first freeze queue and then acquire the ->sysfs_lock.
So we've also updated lock ordering in __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues
function and ensured that in all code paths we follow the correct lock
ordering i.e. acquire ->sysfs_lock before freezing the queue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f1a494df8350da2e673618627cb392a8669825dd
