CVE-2024-26671 is a race condition in the Linux kernel blk-mq block multi-queue subsystem. In blk_mq_mark_tag_wait(), adding a wait-queue entry can be reordered relative to a subsequent failed driver-tag acquisition. The sbitmap wake-up path can consequently fail to observe the newly added waiter and issue no wake-up, leaving the waiter unable to acquire a driver tag and causing I/O to hang. The upstream correction adds an explicit memory barrier in blk_mq_mark_tag_wait() for driver-tag exhaustion.
