Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: remove fake timeout to avoid leak request
Since commit 15f73f5b3e59 ("blk-mq: move failure injection out of
blk_mq_complete_request"), drivers are responsible for calling
blk_should_fake_timeout() at appropriate code paths and opportunities.
However, the dm driver does not implement its own timeout handler and
relies on the timeout handling of its slave devices.
If an io-timeout-fail error is injected to a dm device, the request
will be leaked and never completed, causing tasks to hang indefinitely.
Reproduce:
1. prepare dm which has iscsi slave device
2. inject io-timeout-fail to dm
echo 1 >/sys/class/block/dm-0/io-timeout-fail
echo 100 >/sys/kernel/debug/fail_io_timeout/probability
echo 10 >/sys/kernel/debug/fail_io_timeout/times
3. read/write dm
4. iscsiadm -m node -u
Result: hang task like below

Remove the blk_should_fake_timeout() check from dm, as dm has no
native timeout handling and should not attempt to fake timeouts.
