In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix writes_pending leak on write request failures
raid10makerequest() acquires a writespending reference with mdwritestart() before dispatching write requests. Several failure paths in raid10writerequest() complete the bio and return without reaching the normal write completion path, causing the corresponding mdwrite_end() to be skipped.
Make raid10writerequest() return a status indicating whether the write request was successfully queued. This allows raid10makerequest() to release the writespending reference with mdwrite_end() when a write request fails.
