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

md/raid5: fix IO hang with degraded array with llbitmap

When llbitmap bit state is still unwritten, any new write should force
rcw, as bitmap_ops->blocks_synced() is checked in handle_stripe_dirtying().
However, later the same check is missing in need_this_block(), causing
stripe to deadloop during handling because handle_stripe() will decide
to go to handle_stripe_fill(), meanwhile need_this_block() always return
0 and nothing is handled.
