What it is

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

ublk: fail to start device if queue setup is interrupted

In ublk_ctrl_start_dev(), if wait_for_completion_interruptible() is

interrupted by signal, queues aren't setup successfully yet, so we

have to fail UBLK_CMD_START_DEV, otherwise kernel oops can be triggered.

Reported by German when working on qemu-storage-deamon which requires

single thread ublk daemon.
