x86/mm: Drop unnecessary PMD page copy when freeing
On a box with a discrete GPU, lockdep reports a possible deadlock as
soon as kswapd shrinks the TTM page pool. The immediate cause is an
x86 commit that added an mmap_read_lock() to kernel page protection
munging code.
The huge vmap code holds the same lock over a GFP_KERNEL allocation,
which is a no-no now that reclaim can take it. That allocation is in a
page table *free* path and ends up being for dubious purposes[1].
Basically, it tries to avoid hardware setting Accessed=1 in page table
entries that are unreachable by the hardware, a non-issue.
Remove the PMD copy. Detach the original PMD page at the PUD, flush
the mid-level caches, and free the PTE tables straight from the
detached PMD page. With no allocation left, the locking issue is gone.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: Disable interrupts while holding delayed_cmd_lock
target_do_delayed_work() takes dev->delayed_cmd_lock with a plain
spin_lock(). It runs from system_percpu_wq, so interrupts stay enabled
while the lock is held. Every other acquisition of that lock uses
spin_lock_irqsave(): target_handle_task_attr() and
transport_complete_ordered_sync() in target_core_transport.c, and
target_non_ordered_release() in target_core_device.c.
That was safe while every caller of transport_complete_task_attr() ran
in process context: target_complete_ok_work() from target_completion_wq,
transport_complete_qf() from dev->qf_work_queue, and
transport_generic_request_failure() from the submit and execute paths.
Since commit 06933066d88a ("scsi: target: Add support for completing
commands from backend context") that is no longer true. With
complete_type=1 on a fabric that sets direct_compl_supp,
target_complete() runs target_complete_ok_work() inline in the backend's
completion context, which target_complete_cmd_with_sense() documents as
"May be called from interrupt context". For iblock that is the bio
end_io.
target_complete_ok_work() starts with transport_complete_task_attr(),
which takes delayed_cmd_lock in two ways:
- Every ORDERED command is put on dev->delayed_cmd_list by
target_handle_task_attr() and dispatched from there by
target_do_delayed_work(), which marks it SCF_TASK_ORDERED_SYNC. Its
completion therefore goes through transport_complete_ordered_sync().
- A SIMPLE command that completes while an ORDERED command is pending
drops the last reference to the killed dev->non_ordered, and
percpu_ref_put() then runs target_non_ordered_release() in the
completing context.
Both take the lock and, if commands are waiting, call
schedule_work(&dev->delayed_cmd_work), which queues on system_percpu_wq,
i.e. on the CPU that took the completion. Further completions for the
same queue are typically delivered there too, so one arriving while the
work holds the lock spins on it forever.
Reaching this needs complete_type=1, which is not the default
(vhost-scsi, the only fabric with direct_compl_supp, defaults to
TARGET_QUEUE_COMPL), a backend whose I/O completes from interrupt
context, and ORDERED commands from the initiator. Linux virtio_scsi
guests send only VIRTIO_SCSI_S_SIMPLE and never take the ordered path;
any guest that uses the ORDERED task attribute, which vhost-scsi
accepts, does.
target_do_delayed_work() is a work item and always runs in process
context, so spin_lock_irq() is sufficient.
Found by inspection; no runtime report. A single ORDERED command goes
through both acquisitions, so with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING the first one
completed through direct completion should produce an inconsistent lock
state report on delayed_cmd_lock (hardirq or softirq, depending on where
the backend completes). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: don't hold ci->m_lock while waiting for a lease break ack
When a cifs.ko client caches a read-handle (RH) lease via deferred close
and a conflicting open arrives, ksmbd breaks the lease and waits for the
acknowledgment in wait_for_break_ack() for up to OPLOCK_WAIT_TIME (35s).
__smb_break_all_levII_oplock() runs that wait while holding ci->m_lock
for read.
cifs.ko reacts to a handle-lease break by closing the deferred handle
rather than sending a lease break acknowledgment. That close path
(close_id_del_oplock() -> opinfo_del()) takes ci->m_lock for write and
is exactly what would wake the waiter, but it blocks on the read lock
held by the waiting thread. The break is then resolved only by the 35s
timeout, so xfstests generic/001 takes ~78s with leases enabled versus
~4s with oplocks only.
Collect the target opinfos (each pinned with a reference) while holding
ci->m_lock, then break them after releasing it, matching how
smb_grant_oplock() already breaks a conflicting lease using only a
reference. The reference keeps the opinfo (and its conn and lease)
alive across the unlocked window, and a close racing the break is
handled by the existing OPLOCK_CLOSING state check. Apply the same fix
to the parent lease break paths. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Don't run ops.dequeue() with a DSQ lock held
ops.dequeue() is invoked with the source user DSQ's lock still held on
the consume and move paths (scx_consume_dispatch_q(),
move_task_between_dsqs()). A BPF scheduler which locks the source user
DSQ from ops.dequeue() - e.g. by iterating it with bpf_iter_scx_dsq -
self-deadlocks.
ops.dequeue() can only call the "any" kfuncs and none of them can lock a
builtin DSQ, so the global and bypass paths can't deadlock; however,
all DSQ locks share one lockdep class, so iterating any user DSQ from
ops.dequeue() on those paths trips the recursion check.
Move the invocation after the DSQ unlock on all three paths.
SCX_TASK_IN_CUSTODY is cleared under the lock serializing the transfer
so that the callback is invoked exactly once. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/slab: do not wake up kswapd in __kfree_rcu_sheaf()
Since kfree_rcu() can be called under pi_lock (a raw spinlock in the
scheduler), kfree_rcu() itself should never allocate memory with
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM as waking up kswapd ends up acquiring pi_lock,
which leads to a deadlock.
Reproducing the issue even intentionally was not straightforward.
The set_cpus_allowed_force() path that is called under pi_lock is
exercised very rarely, and competing tasks that allocate memory will
most likely wake kswapd up.
Therefore the existence of the deadlock was verified with a modified
kernel that has a lockdep map for waking up kswapd:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-cgroup: save IRQ state in blkg_tryget_closest()
bio_set_dev() associates the bio with a blkg through bio_associate_blkg().
If the blkg lookup misses, blkg_tryget_closest() takes q->queue_lock with
spin_lock_irq() and releases it with spin_unlock_irq(), which
unconditionally enables local interrupts.
Callers may call bio_set_dev() with interrupts already disabled, e.g.
dm-thin's pool_map() does so while holding pool->lock taken with
spin_lock_irq(). The nested spin_unlock_irq() then enables interrupts
while pool->lock is still held, so an I/O completion softirq can run on
the same CPU, re-acquire pool->lock (thin_endio(), or overwrite_endio()
-> complete_mapping_preparation()) and deadlock. lockdep reports this
as inconsistent SOFTIRQ-ON-W to IN-SOFTIRQ-W usage.
Commit 3a762de55b4e ("block: save irq state in blkg_lookup_create()")
fixed the same problem while the lock lived in blkg_lookup_create(), but
commit 9327a865e395 ("blk-cgroup: don't nest queue_lock under rcu in
blkg_lookup_create()") moved the locking into blkg_tryget_closest() and
reverted it to spin_lock_irq().
Save and restore the caller's IRQ state instead. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Fix CPU hotplug hang when a dying CPU's tasks sit in the BPF scheduler
A CPU going down has to empty its own rq. Its hotplug thread waits in
sched_cpu_wait_empty() until nothing else is left, and the only thing that
wakes it is balance_push(), which runs from __schedule() on the dying CPU
and pushes off the migratable tasks the CPU picks.
sched_ext breaks this. A task sitting on a user DSQ or held by the BPF
scheduler is still counted on its rq, but an inactive CPU no longer calls
ops.dispatch() and can't pull the task back. The dying CPU goes idle with
the task still counted, and one of two things happens:
- Another CPU consumes the task. The rq empties without a __schedule() on
the dying CPU, so the hotplug thread is never woken and cpu_down() hangs
holding cpu_hotplug_lock.
- The task is affine only to the dying CPU. Nothing can move it, and the
offline stalls until the watchdog ejects the BPF scheduler.
When the rq goes offline, re-enqueue every task on it that isn't already on
the local DSQ. An enqueue on an offline rq lands on the local DSQ, so the
dying CPU itself picks the tasks and balance_push() pushes them off, the
same as for the other sched classes. From then on no sched_ext path on
another CPU can pull a task off the rq.
ops.dispatch() currently stops as soon as the CPU goes inactive, and CPU
hotplug then waits for an RCU grace period before taking the rq offline. A
BPF-held task affine only to the dying CPU and preempted inside an RCU
read-side critical section would block that grace period, and the rq would
never go offline. Test SCX_RQ_ONLINE directly so that ops.dispatch() keeps
running until the rq goes offline. Only the dying CPU's own hotplug thread
clears the flag during teardown, and task_can_run_on_remote_rq() still keeps
other rqs' tasks off the CPU. |
| Improper synchronization in the OpenVPN ovpn-dco-win for Windows versions 0.6.5 through 1.3.5 and 2.4.0 through 2.8.7 allows local attackers to trigger a deadlock via a crafted write to the ovpn-dco device, causing the host to become unresponsive. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: core: Keep internal commands dispatchable during error handling
Commit 08b12cda6c44 ("scsi: ufs: core: Switch to scsi_get_internal_cmd()")
switched UFS internal commands to allocate requests on
hba->host->pseudo_sdev->request_queue, which shares the host tagset with
regular LUNs.
During error recovery, ufshcd_err_handling_prepare() calls
blk_mq_quiesce_tagset(&hba->host->tag_set), marking all queues in the
tagset as quiesced, including pseudo_sdev->request_queue. When
ufshcd_verify_dev_init() subsequently issues internal commands (e.g. NOP
OUT UPIU) via blk_execute_rq(), blk_mq_run_hw_queue() skips running the
quiesced queue, resulting in an unrecoverable circular wait deadlock.
Keep quiescing the tagset and unquiesce the pseudo SCSI device on top of
that, so internal commands stay dispatchable while the logical units remain
quiesced. Re-quiesce the pseudo device before unquiescing the tagset so
that quiesce_depth stays balanced.
Clock scaling and ufshcd_pause_command_processing() are unaffected: they
keep quiescing the whole tagset, internal commands included. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid1,raid10: fix error-path detection with md_cloned_bio()
Detect the error path using md_cloned_bio() instead of relying
on r1_bio in raid1 or r10_bio->read_slot in raid10, which may be
NULL or -1 after splitting and resubmitting a failed bio.
As a result, the error path may not be recognized and memory
allocations can incorrectly use GFP_NOIO instead of
(GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGH), which can lead to a deadlock under
memory pressure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/erdma: Use IRQ-safe XArray helpers for QP and CQ tables
Locked QP and CQ lookups from EQ interrupts can deadlock with
create-path XArray updates. If an interrupt arrives while the create
path holds the plain xa_lock, the lookup spins forever trying to
acquire the same lock.
Use IRQ-safe XArray helpers for all QP and CQ create-path updates,
including the GSI QP store and error paths. Initialize both arrays with
XA_FLAGS_LOCK_IRQ so sleeping allocations preserve interrupt state. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid1,raid10: fix deadlock in read error recovery path
raid1d and raid10d may resubmit a split md cloned bio while handling
a read error. In this case, resubmitting the bio can lead to a deadlock
if the array is suspended before md_handle_request() acquires an
active_io reference via percpu_ref_tryget_live().
Since the cloned bio already holds an active_io reference,
trying to acquire another reference via percpu_ref_tryget_live()
can lead to a deadlock while the array is suspended.
Fix this by using percpu_ref_get() for md cloned bios. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7925: fix potential deadlock in mt7925_roc_abort_sync
roc_abort_sync() can deadlock with roc_work(). roc_work() holds
dev->mt76.mutex, while cancel_work_sync() waits for roc_work()
to finish. If the caller already owns the same mutex, both
sides block and no progress is possible.
This deadlock can occur during station removal when
mt76_sta_state() -> mt76_sta_remove() ->
mt7925_mac_sta_remove_link() -> mt7925_mac_link_sta_remove() ->
mt7925_roc_abort_sync() invokes cancel_work_sync() while
roc_work() is still running and holding dev->mt76.mutex.
This avoids the mutex deadlock and preserves exactly-once
work ownership. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS/localio: prevent direct reclaim recursion into NFS via nfs_writepages
LOCALIO is an NFS loopback mount optimization that avoids using the
network for READ, WRITE and COMMIT if the NFS client and server are
determined to be on the same system. But because LOCALIO is still
fundamentally "just NFS loopback mount" it is susceptible to recursion
deadlock via direct reclaim, e.g.: NFS LOCALIO down to XFS and then
back into NFS via nfs_writepages.
Fix LOCALIO's potential for direct reclaim deadlock by ensuring that
all its page cache allocations are done from GFP_NOFS context.
Thanks to Ben Coddington for pointing out commit ad22c7a043c2 ("xfs:
prevent stack overflows from page cache allocation"). |

mm/damon/core: fix damos_walk() vs kdamond_fn() exit race
When kdamond_fn() main loop is finished, the function cancels remaining
damos_walk() request and unset the damon_ctx->kdamond so that API callers
and API functions themselves can show the context is terminated.
damos_walk() adds the caller's request to the queue first. After that, it
shows if the kdamond of the damon_ctx is still running (damon_ctx->kdamond
is set). Only if the kdamond is running, damos_walk() starts waiting for
the kdamond's handling of the newly added request.
The damos_walk() requests registration and damon_ctx->kdamond unset are
protected by different mutexes, though. Hence, damos_walk() could race
with damon_ctx->kdamond unset, and result in deadlocks.
For example, let's suppose kdamond successfully finished the damow_walk()
request cancelling. Right after that, damos_walk() is called for the
context. It registers the new request, and shows the context is still
running, because damon_ctx->kdamond unset is not yet done. Hence the
damos_walk() caller starts waiting for the handling of the request.
However, the kdamond is already on the termination steps, so it never
handles the new request. As a result, the damos_walk() caller thread
infinitely waits.
Fix this by introducing another damon_ctx field, namely
walk_control_obsolete. It is protected by the
damon_ctx->walk_control_lock, which protects damos_walk() request
registration. Initialize (unset) it in kdamond_fn() before letting
damon_start() returns and set it just before the cancelling of the
remaining damos_walk() request is executed. damos_walk() reads the
obsolete field under the lock and avoids adding a new request.
After this change, only requests that are guaranteed to be handled or
cancelled are registered. Hence the after-registration DAMON context
termination check is no longer needed. Remove it together.
The issue is found by sashiko [1]. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix UMR hang in LAG error state unload
During firmware reset in LAG mode, a race condition causes the driver
to hang indefinitely while waiting for UMR completion during device
unload. See [1].
In LAG mode the bond device is only registered on the master, so it
never sees sys_error events from the slave.
During firmware reset this causes UMR waits to hang forever on unload
as the slave is dead but the master hasn't entered error state yet, so
UMR posts succeed but completions never arrive.
Fix this by adding a sys_error notifier that gets registered before
MLX5_IB_STAGE_IB_REG and stays alive until after ib_unregister_device().
This ensures error events reach the bond device throughout teardown.

md raid: fix hang when stopping arrays with metadata through dm-raid
When using device-mapper's dm-raid target, stopping a RAID array can cause
the system to hang under specific conditions.
This occurs when:
- A dm-raid managed device tree is suspended from top to bottom
(the top-level RAID device is suspended first, followed by its
underlying metadata and data devices)
- The top-level RAID device is then removed
Removing the top-level device triggers a hang in the following sequence:
the dm-raid destructor calls md_stop(), which tries to flush the
write-intent bitmap by writing to the metadata sub-devices. However, these
devices are already suspended, making them unable to complete the write-intent
operations and causing an indefinite block.
Fix:
- Prevent bitmap flushing when md_stop() is called from dm-raid
destructor context
and avoid a quiescing/unquescing cycle which could also cause I/O
- Still allow write-intent bitmap flushing when called from dm-raid
suspend context
This ensures that RAID array teardown can complete successfully even when the
underlying devices are in a suspended state.
This second patch uses md_is_rdwr() to distinguish between suspend and
destructor paths as elaborated on above. |

ntfs3: fix circular locking dependency in run_unpack_ex
Syzbot reported a circular locking dependency between wnd->rw_lock
(sbi->used.bitmap) and ni->file.run_lock.
The deadlock scenario:
1. ntfs_extend_mft() takes ni->file.run_lock then wnd->rw_lock.
2. run_unpack_ex() takes wnd->rw_lock then tries to acquire
ni->file.run_lock inside ntfs_refresh_zone().
This creates an AB-BA deadlock.
Fix this by using down_read_trylock() instead of down_read() when
acquiring run_lock in run_unpack_ex(). If the lock is contended,
skip ntfs_refresh_zone() - the MFT zone will be refreshed on the
next MFT operation. This breaks the circular dependency since we
