"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-010820 advisory.

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

    dm cache: prevent BUG_ON by blocking retries on failed device resumes

    A cache device failing to resume due to mapping errors should not be
    retried, as the failure leaves a partially initialized policy object.
    Repeating the resume operation risks triggering BUG_ON when reloading
    cache mappings into the incomplete policy object.

    Reproduce steps:

    1. create a cache metadata consisting of 512 or more cache blocks,
       with some mappings stored in the first array block of the mapping
       array. Here we use cache_restore v1.0 to build the metadata.

    cat <<EOF >> cmeta.xml
    <superblock uuid= block_size=128 nr_cache_blocks=512 \
    policy=smq hint_width=4>
      <mappings>
        <mapping cache_block=0 origin_block=0 dirty=false/>
      </mappings>
    </superblock>
    EOF
    dmsetup create cmeta --table 0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0
    cache_restore -i cmeta.xml -o /dev/mapper/cmeta --metadata-version=2
    dmsetup remove cmeta

    2. wipe the second array block of the mapping array to simulate
       data degradations.

    mapping_root=$(dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=192 \
    2>/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 %u\n')
    ablock=$(dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=$((4096*mapping_root+2056)) \
    2>/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 %u\n')
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=4k count=1 seek=$ablock

    3. try bringing up the cache device. The resume is expected to fail
       due to the broken array block.

    dmsetup create cmeta --table 0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0
    dmsetup create cdata --table 0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192
    dmsetup create corig --table 0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144
    dmsetup create cache --notable
    dmsetup load cache --table 0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
    /dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0
    dmsetup resume cache

    4. try resuming the cache again. An unexpected BUG_ON is triggered
       while loading cache mappings.

    dmsetup resume cache

    Kernel logs:

    (snip)
    ------------[ cut here ]------------
    kernel BUG at drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-smq.c:752!
    Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN NOPTI
    CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 332 Comm: dmsetup Not tainted 6.13.4 #3
    RIP: 0010:smq_load_mapping+0x3e5/0x570

    Fix by disallowing resume operations for devices that failed the
    initial attempt.
