Hi Greg, Sasha, and block maintainers,
I am continuing with the smaller CVE backports still missing from
6.1.y. This series handles CVE-2023-54227. The first patch frees excess tag
sets after a queue-count reduction. Its immediate upstream follow-up moves
that free past hctx resizing so the repair itself cannot race into a UAF;
they need to travel together.
Both changes are already inherited by v6.6 and every later mainline
release.
Could you please queue the pair for 6.1.y?
Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg
AI assistance: An LLM helped find the missing CVE fix, adapt
it, and prepare the draft; I reviewed the code and build output.

[ Upstream commit e1dd7bc93029024af5688253b0c05181d6e01f8e ]
Although we don't need to realloc set->tags[] when shrink nr_hw_queues,
we need to free them. Or these tags will be leaked.
How to reproduce:
1. mount -t configfs configfs /mnt
2. modprobe null_blk nr_devices=0 submit_queues=8
3. mkdir /mnt/nullb/nullb0
4. echo 1 > /mnt/nullb/nullb0/power
5. echo 4 > /mnt/nullb/nullb0/submit_queues
6. rmdir /mnt/nullb/nullb0
In step 4, will alloc 9 tags (8 submit queues and 1 poll queue), then
in step 5, new_nr_hw_queues = 5 (4 submit queues and 1 poll queue).
At last in step 6, only these 5 tags are freed, the other 4 tags leaked.

[ Upstream commit 6be6d112419713334ddd9c01f219ca16adaa4c76 ]
When nr_hw_queues shrink, we free the excess tags before realloc'ing
hw_ctxs for each queue. During that resize, we may need to access those
tags, like blk_mq_tag_idle(hctx) will access queue shared tags.
This can cause a slab use-after-free, as reported by KASAN. Fix it by
moving the releasing of excess tags to the end.
