What it is

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

mmc: core: Avoid bitfield RMW for claim/retune flags

Move claimed and retune control flags out of the bitfield word to

avoid unrelated RMW side effects in asynchronous contexts.

The host->claimed bit shared a word with retune flags. Writes to claimed

in __mmc_claim_host() or retune_now in mmc_mq_queue_rq() can overwrite

other bits when concurrent updates happen in other contexts, triggering

spurious WARN_ON(!host->claimed). Convert claimed, can_retune,

retune_now and retune_paused to bool to remove shared-word coupling.
