If userspace then freezes reshape and\nwrites md/suspend_lo or md/suspend_hi, mddev_suspend() kills active_io\nand waits for all in-flight IO to drain.\n\nThis can deadlock: the IO needs reshape progress to continue, but the\nreshape thread is already frozen, so the active_io reference is never\ndropped and suspend never completes.\n\nraid5_prepare_suspend() already wakes wait_for_reshape for dm-raid. Do\nthe same for normal md suspend when reshape is already interrupted, so\nwaiting raid456 IO can abort, drop its reference, and let suspend\nfinish.\n\nThe mdadm test tests/25raid456-reshape-deadlock reproduces the hang.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8ae3e14d7f3df58f7f49c02d74344e3dcd5f84f0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8b6a72420821e6da2cab6a69d5233500d2698b93","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cf86bb53b9c92354904a328e947a05ffbfdd1840","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ff6b93410192b812d73cc54062529715b2dc849f"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53123","score":0.00116,"percentile":0.01625,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
