CVE-2026-74754

What the bug is

shost->eh_noresume is currently consulted twice in one error handling iteration: once before scsi_autopm_get_host() and once again before scsi_autopm_put_host(). That is racy when a PM-triggered error path flips shost->eh_noresume while the SCSI EH thread is still running. The problem flow looks like this: PM path ufshcd_set_dev_pwr_mode() shost->eh_noresume = 1 ufshcd_execute_start_stop <-- trigger EH ... shost->eh_noresume = 0 EH path scsi_error_handler() if (!shost->eh_noresume) scsi_autopm_get_host() <-- skipped ... if (!shost->eh_noresume) scsi_autopm_put_host() <-- executed later In that case one EH iteration can skip autoresume on entry and still drop a runtime PM reference on exit. That leaves an unmatched runtime PM put and can trigger a runtime PM usage count underflow. Fix this by making eh_noresume a regular bool so it can be accessed with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(). Snapshot it once per EH iteration and use that snapshot for both runtime PM get and put decisions.

Where it lives

The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

Kernel module

scsi_mod

Check it on the machine

grep -w CONFIG_SCSI /boot/config-$(uname -r)

Reads the booted kernel's own configuration, on the machine and nowhere else. =y is built in, =m is a module, and an is not set line means the code is not there.

lsmod | grep -w scsi_mod

Prints a line if that module is loaded right now, and nothing if it is not. One that is not loaded can still be loaded later by anything that needs it.
