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

erofs: wake up all waiters after z_erofs_lzma_head ready

When the user mounts the erofs second times, the decompression thread

may hung. The problem happens due to a sequence of steps like the

following:

1) Task A called z_erofs_load_lzma_config which obtain all of the node

from the z_erofs_lzma_head.

2) At this time, task B called the z_erofs_lzma_decompress and wanted to

get a node. But the z_erofs_lzma_head was empty, the Task B had to

sleep.

3) Task A release nodes and push nodes into the z_erofs_lzma_head. But

task B was still sleeping.

One example report when the hung happens:

task:kworker/u3:1 state:D stack:14384 pid: 86 ppid: 2 flags:0x00004000

Workqueue: erofs_unzipd z_erofs_decompressqueue_work
