In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: fix missing barrier when checking io-uring readiness
fuseblockalloc() reads fch->initialized and then fch->iouring. fch->iouring is set before fch->initialized, ordered by the smpwmb() in fusechansetintialized(), but fuseblockalloc() has no matching read barrier between the two loads.
This may lead a CPU to observe fch->initialized=1 but fch->io_uring=0, and skip the check that blocks request allocation until the io-uring queues are ready. This can reintroduce the lock-order inversion deadlock that commit 3393ff964e0f prevents.
Add an smprmb() barrier to pair with the smpwmb() in fusechanset_initialized() to prevent this.
