CVE-2026-90185

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

null_blk: serialize configfs attribute stores with the lock

The NULLB_DEVICE_ATTR _store takes no lock: apply_fn attributes
(submit_queues, poll_queues) get dev->NAME written again after apply_fn
returns, outside its lock; APPLY=NULL attributes are entirely lockless.
configfs only serializes stores per-open-file, so concurrent stores on
separate fds race.

For apply_fn attributes, once one store's apply_fn has reconfigured the
hardware, a second (losing) store can still overwrite dev->NAME
afterwards. This leaves dev->submit_queues out of sync with the live
queue count, which is later caught by the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
null_map_queues().

For !apply_fn attributes, power_store()'s null_add_dev() validates and
builds the device under "lock" but only sets CONFIGURED afterwards. A store
slipping in during this window can change a field mid-setup -- for example,
zone_nr_conv can be pushed above nr_zones after it has already been
clamped, leading to an out-of-bounds dev->zones[] access.

Take "lock" in the macro around the apply_fn call, the CONFIGURED test and
the field write, and move it out of nullb_apply_submit_queues()/
nullb_apply_poll_queues() so both paths are covered once. This serializes
stores with power_store's setup and with each other.
