CVE-2025-21712

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:md/md-bitmap: Synchronize bitmap_get_stats() with bitmap lifetimeAfter commit ec6bb299c7c3 ("md/md-bitmap: add 'sync_size' into structmd_bitmap_stats"), following panic is reported:Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical addressRIP: 0010:bitmap_get_stats+0x2b/0xa0Call Trace: md_seq_show+0x2d2/0x5b0 seq_read_iter+0x2b9/0x470 seq_read+0x12f/0x180 proc_reg_read+0x57/0xb0 vfs_read+0xf6/0x380 ksys_read+0x6c/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x82/0x170 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7eRoot cause is that bitmap_get_stats() can be called at anytime if mddevis still there, even if bitmap is destroyed, or not fully initialized.Deferenceing bitmap in this case can crash the kernel. Meanwhile, theabove commit start to deferencing bitmap->storage, make the problemeasier to trigger.Fix the problem by protecting bitmap_get_stats() with bitmap_info.mutex.
