That made\nmddev_detach() skip bitmap_ops->wait_behind_writes(), because the bitmap\nwas already disconnected from mddev.\n\nThis was still safe for the legacy bitmap because bitmap_destroy() waits\nfor behind writes itself. llbitmap keeps that wait in its\n->wait_behind_writes() operation instead, while ->destroy() tears down the\nllbitmap storage. With the old ordering, RAID1 behind-write completions\ncould still run after llbitmap storage had been freed.\n\nCall mddev_detach() before md_bitmap_destroy() so the common detach path\ncan wait for behind writes while the bitmap is still alive. Only destroy\nthe bitmap after those users are gone.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2a79365b2278f16e163e4024086105693b421601","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4224dccd325a9380e8edfb66aad8bb5771c94222","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/73881ff7a75913f919a1ce9d9571bfaab8e8588d"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:55:23.253742848+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-90278","score":0.00206,"percentile":0.10634,"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).
