CVE-2026-74376: md/raid10: reset read_slot when reusing r10bio for discard

Published Aug 15, 2026

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

md/raid10: reset readslot when reusing r10bio for discard

putallbios() always drops devs[i].bio, but it only drops devs[i].replbio when r10bio->readslot < 0. If discard reuses an r10bio that was previously used for a read, readslot can still be non-negative, and discard cleanup can skip bioput() on replbio.

Reset readslot to -1 when preparing an r10bio for discard so the replacement bio is always released correctly.
