CVE-2026-74555
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: libsas: Fix HA resume deadlock and hisi_sas disk-wake race Commit fbefe22811c3 ("scsi: libsas: Don't always drain event workqueue for HA resume") introduced sas_resume_ha_no_sync() to avoid a deadlock: the PHYE_RESUME_TIMEOUT handler, running on the HA event workqueue, calls sas_deform_port() -> sas_destruct_devices(), which removes SCSI devices and waits for the host to become runtime-active. But the host cannot resume until sas_resume_ha() -> sas_drain_work() returns, and the drain is blocked on that very handler. However skipping the drain reintroduces a race: hisi_sas returns from resume before all PHY UP work and libsas discovery work finish. The controller may then autosuspend while disks are still waking up. The disks issue IO to a suspended controller, the IO fails, and the disks get disabled. Fix the deadlock at its source by moving the PHYE_RESUME_TIMEOUT notification to after sas_drain_work(). By then the host resume is about to complete, so device removal through device_link no longer blocks on the resume and the cycle is broken. With the deadlock gone, restore sas_resume_ha() (the draining variant) in hisi_sas and remove sas_resume_ha_no_sync(). The reorder is safe for the other libsas consumers (isci, pm8001, aic94xx, mvsas). During suspend, sas_suspend_devices() calls sas_notify_lldd_dev_gone() for each device, which sets dev->lldd_dev to NULL. When scsi_unblock_requests re-enables I/O in resume, any I/O to a timed-out phy's disk is immediately rejected by the LLDD before reaching hardware: isci returns SAS_DEVICE_UNKNOWN (mapped to DID_BAD_TARGET), and pm8001 returns SAS_PHY_DOWN (mapped to DID_NO_CONNECT). Both complete directly via scsi_done() without entering SCSI EH. This is identical in both the old and new ordering since lldd_dev_gone runs during suspend, before resume. The reorder only affects when the PHYE_RESUME_TIMEOUT handler runs (synchronized by sas_drain_work() vs. asynchronous after resume returns), not whether I/O can reach the device. aic94xx and mvsas do not register any PM ops and never reach this code path.

Affected products and versions
NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.
Remediation & validation
- Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
- Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
- Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
- Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.
No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
