CVE-2026-45955

Summary

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

md/md-llbitmap: fix percpu_ref not resurrected on suspend timeout

When llbitmap_suspend_timeout() times out waiting for percpu_ref to become zero, it returns -ETIMEDOUT without resurrecting the percpu_ref. The caller (md_llbitmap_daemon_fn) then continues to the next page without calling llbitmap_resume(), leaving the percpu_ref in a killed state permanently.

Fix this by resurrecting the percpu_ref before returning the error, ensuring the page control structure remains usable for subsequent operations.
