Summary
ublk: fail to start device if queue setup is interrupted
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ublk: fail to start device if queue setup is interrupted

In ublkctrlstartdev(), if waitforcompletioninterruptible() is interrupted by signal, queues aren't setup successfully yet, so we have to fail UBLKCMDSTART_DEV, otherwise kernel oops can be triggered.

Reported by German when working on qemu-storage-deamon which requires single thread ublk daemon.
