| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: LAG, MPESW, Fix missing complete() on devcom error
mlx5_mpesw_work() returned without calling complete() when
mlx5_lag_get_devcom_comp() returned NULL. A caller that queued the
work and waited on mpesww->comp would block indefinitely.
Funnel the early-return path through a new "complete" label so the
waiter is always woken. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Take cgroup_lock() first in scx_cgroup_lock()
scx_cgroup_lock() write-locks scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem and then takes
cgroup_lock(), which can deadlock through kernfs:
scx enable/disable cgroup rmdir cpu.weight write
------------------ ------------ ----------------
cgroup_lock()
percpu_down_write(rwsem)
cgroup_lock()
kernfs_get_active()
percpu_down_read(rwsem)
kernfs_drain()
The enable path waits for the rmdir to release cgroup_mutex. The rmdir,
deactivating the cpu controller's files, waits in kernfs_drain() for the
write's active reference. The write, in scx_group_set_weight(), waits for
the rwsem behind the pending writer.
Take cgroup_lock() first. The set_* paths take no cgroup locks inside the
read side, so a pending write-lock then only waits for read sections that
always run to completion, and no dependency from the rwsem back to
cgroup_mutex remains. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
super: fix emergency thaw deadlock on frozen block devices
do_thaw_all_callback() calls bdev_thaw() while holding sb->s_umount
exclusively. If the block device was frozen via bdev_freeze() dropping
the last block layer freeze reference calls fs_bdev_thaw() which
reacquires s_umount:
do_thaw_all_callback(sb)
super_lock_excl(sb) # holds sb->s_umount
bdev_thaw(sb->s_bdev)
mutex_lock(&bdev->bd_fsfreeze_mutex)
# bd_fsfreeze_count drops 1 -> 0
bd_holder_ops->thaw == fs_bdev_thaw
get_bdev_super(bdev)
bdev_super_lock(bdev, true)
super_lock(sb, true)
down_write(&sb->s_umount) # same task: deadlock
The emergency thaw worker deadlocks against itself holding both
s_umount and bd_fsfreeze_mutex. That fscks any subsequent unmount,
freeze, or thaw of that filesystem and block device.

bdev_super_lock() even documents the violated requirement with
lockdep_assert_not_held(&sb->s_umount).
Acquiring bd_fsfreeze_mutex under s_umount also inverts the
bd_fsfreeze_mutex vs. s_umount ordering established by
bdev_{freeze,thaw}() and can thus ABBA against a concurrent block-layer
freeze even when the recursive path isn't hit.
Fix this by not holding s_umount around the bdev_thaw() loop at all. Pin
the superblock with an active reference instead as
filesystems_freeze_callback() does. The active reference keeps the
superblock from being shut down and so ->s_bdev stays valid without
holding s_umount. The block-layer-held freeze is dropped by
fs_bdev_thaw() with FREEZE_MAY_NEST | FREEZE_HOLDER_USERSPACE exactly as
a regular unfreeze would and thaw_super_locked() handles
filesystem-level freezes as before.
The emergency thaw path has deadlocked like this in one form or
another for a long long time but the current exclusively-held
shape dates back to commit [1] where thaw_bdev() already ended in
thaw_super() with s_umount held by do_thaw_all_callback(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: jz4780: Cache host clock rate at probe to prevent CCF prepare_lock deadlock
Fix a severe AB/BA deadlock between the Common Clock Framework (CCF)
and the I2C adapter lock, which triggers when an I2C-controlled clock
generator client (like the Si5351) is registered or modified under the CCF.
During an i2c client clock (generator) frequency change, the CCF acquires its global
'prepare_lock' mutex and the driver calls i2c_transfer() to update the client's
chip registers, stalling for the adapter's I2C bus lock.
Concurrently, an independent, parallel transfer on the same bus (e.g., a GPIO
expander handling LEDs) can hold the I2C adapter lock. Inside this parallel
transfer path, jz4780_i2c_set_speed() calls clk_get_rate() on the host
controller's input clock to calculate bus timings. This call attempts to acquire
the blocked CCF 'prepare_lock', creating a circular dependency that freezes
the system.
The jz4780 host controller clock itself is static and never changes at runtime.
However, calling clk_get_rate() inside the active transfer path introduces
an unnecessary dependency on the CCF internal locks.
Eliminate this synchronous clk_get_rate() call from the active transfer
path by caching the static host peripheral clock rate once - inside the private
jz4780_i2c structure during jz4780_i2c_probe(). Update jz4780_i2c_set_speed()
to use this cached value, safely decoupling active I2C transactions from the
CCF internal locks without any risk of stale timings.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: zoned: fix deadlock waiting for ticket during data relocation
When performing data relocation on a zoned filesystem, BTRFS can deadlock
in handle_reserve_tickets(). The relocation process is waiting on a space
reservation ticket that can never be fulfilled, because the relocation
itself is the operation responsible for freeing up that space.
Fix this by introducing a new flush state,
BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_ZONED_RELOCATION, specifically for data chunk
allocation during zoned relocation. Like
BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_FREE_SPACE_INODE, this state uses
priority_reclaim_data_space() instead of the normal flushing path, which
avoids re-entering the relocation code and breaking the deadlock cycle.
In btrfs_alloc_data_chunk_ondemand(), select this new flush state when the
inode belongs to a data relocation root on a zoned filesystem. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Fix deadlock if uvc_status_stop is called from async_ctrl.work
If a UVC camera has an asynchronous control, uvc_status_stop may be
called from async_ctrl.work:
uvc_ctrl_status_event_work()
uvc_ctrl_status_event()
uvc_ctrl_clear_handle()
uvc_pm_put()
uvc_status_put()
uvc_status_stop()
cancel_work_sync()
This will cause a deadlock, since cancel_work_sync will wait for
uvc_ctrl_status_event_work to complete before returning.
Fix this by returning early from uvc_status_stop if we are currently in
the work function. flush_status now remains false until uvc_status_start
is called again, ensuring that uvc_ctrl_status_event_work won't resubmit
the URB. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpi3mr: Fix potential deadlock in mpi3mr_fault_uevent_emit
mpi3mr_fault_uevent_emit() runs from the fault watchdog and reset paths
where host I/O may already be blocked. GFP_KERNEL allocations here, both
the local kzalloc_obj() and the ones inside kobject_uevent_env() itself,
can trigger reclaim that waits on that blocked I/O and deadlock.
Use memalloc_noio_save()/restore() to cover the whole call instead of
just the local allocation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: libsas: Fix HA resume deadlock and hisi_sas disk-wake race
Commit fbefe22811c3 ("scsi: libsas: Don't always drain event workqueue
for HA resume") introduced sas_resume_ha_no_sync() to avoid a deadlock:
the PHYE_RESUME_TIMEOUT handler, running on the HA event workqueue,
calls sas_deform_port() -> sas_destruct_devices(), which removes SCSI
devices and waits for the host to become runtime-active. But the host
cannot resume until sas_resume_ha() -> sas_drain_work() returns, and the
drain is blocked on that very handler.
However skipping the drain reintroduces a race: hisi_sas returns from
resume before all PHY UP work and libsas discovery work finish. The
controller may then autosuspend while disks are still waking up. The
disks issue IO to a suspended controller, the IO fails, and the disks
get disabled.
Fix the deadlock at its source by moving the PHYE_RESUME_TIMEOUT
notification to after sas_drain_work(). By then the host resume is about
to complete, so device removal through device_link no longer blocks on
the resume and the cycle is broken.
With the deadlock gone, restore sas_resume_ha() (the draining variant)
in hisi_sas and remove sas_resume_ha_no_sync().
The reorder is safe for the other libsas consumers (isci, pm8001,
aic94xx, mvsas). During suspend, sas_suspend_devices() calls
sas_notify_lldd_dev_gone() for each device, which sets dev->lldd_dev to
NULL. When scsi_unblock_requests re-enables I/O in resume, any I/O to a
timed-out phy's disk is immediately rejected by the LLDD before reaching
hardware: isci returns SAS_DEVICE_UNKNOWN (mapped to DID_BAD_TARGET),
and pm8001 returns SAS_PHY_DOWN (mapped to DID_NO_CONNECT). Both
complete directly via scsi_done() without entering SCSI EH. This is
identical in both the old and new ordering since lldd_dev_gone runs
during suspend, before resume. The reorder only affects when the
PHYE_RESUME_TIMEOUT handler runs (synchronized by sas_drain_work()
vs. asynchronous after resume returns), not whether I/O can reach the
device. aic94xx and mvsas do not register any PM ops and never reach
this code path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Prevent PM resume deadlock in hwctx_sync_debug_bo()
amdxdna_hwctx_sync_debug_bo() invokes the hardware hwctx_sync_debug_bo()
callback while holding xdna->dev_lock.
The callback may call amdxdna_cmd_submit(), which in turn calls
amdxdna_pm_resume_get(). If the device is suspended,
amdxdna_pm_resume_get() may synchronously execute amdxdna_pm_resume(),
which also acquires xdna->dev_lock, resulting in a deadlock.
Avoid the deadlock by calling amdxdna_pm_resume_get() before holding
xdna->dev_lock in both amdxdna_hwctx_sync_debug_bo() and
amdxdna_drm_config_hwctx_ioctl() |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: avoid heap allocation for free-cluster readahead state
get_nr_free_clusters() allocates a temporary file_ra_state before it
publishes the precomputed free cluster count, sets NVolFreeClusterKnown(),
and wakes vol->free_waitq. If that allocation fails, the worker returns
without setting the flag or waking waiters, so callers waiting for the free
count can block indefinitely.
The readahead state is only used synchronously while scanning the bitmap.
Keep it on the stack and pass it by address to the readahead helper. This
eliminates the early allocation failure path instead of adding a special
case that publishes a conservative count and wakes the waitqueue.
Zero-initialize the on-stack state because file_ra_state_init() only sets
ra_pages and prev_pos.
Apply the same treatment to __get_nr_free_mft_records(), which scans the
MFT bitmap with the same short-lived readahead state. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: fail attrlist updates when the superblock is inactive
generic_shutdown_super() clears SB_ACTIVE before evicting cached inodes.
If eviction selects the fake inode for a base inode's unnamed
$ATTRIBUTE_LIST attribute, ntfs_evict_big_inode() drops the fake inode's
reference on the base inode while the fake inode is still hashed and marked
I_FREEING.
That iput can synchronously write back the base inode. The writeback path
may update mapping pairs and call ntfs_attrlist_update(), which
unconditionally calls ntfs_attr_iget() for the same $ATTRIBUTE_LIST fake
inode. VFS then finds the I_FREEING inode and waits for eviction to finish,
but the current task is still inside that eviction path, causing a
self-deadlock in find_inode().
Fix this by mirroring the teardown guard used by __ntfs_write_inode():
once SB_ACTIVE has been cleared, do not try to iget the attribute-list
fake inode. Return -EIO so teardown aborts the update instead of waiting on
the inode it is evicting. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: fix mrec_lock ABBA deadlock in rename
ntfs_file_fsync(), ntfs_dir_fsync() and __ntfs_write_inode() lock an
inode's mrec_lock before taking the mrec_lock of its parent directory.
ntfs_rename() takes old_ni->mrec_lock and old_dir_ni->mrec_lock
before taking new_ni->mrec_lock for an existing target, or
new_dir_ni->mrec_lock for a cross-directory rename.
This can deadlock when ntfs_file_fsync() or __ntfs_write_inode() holds
the target inode, or when ntfs_dir_fsync() holds a child target
directory, while rename() holds the parent directory and waits for the
target.
Fix this by locking the existing target inode before taking any parent
directory mrec_lock. For cross-directory renames where the target parent
is a descendant of the source parent, lock the target parent before the
source parent so the directory order matches the child-to-parent order used
by ntfs_file_fsync(), ntfs_dir_fsync(), and __ntfs_write_inode(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix NMI/tracepoint re-entry deadlock on lru locks
NMI and tracepoint BPF programs can re-enter the per-CPU or global
LRU lock that bpf_lru_pop_free()/push_free() already hold on the
same CPU, AA-deadlocking. Lockdep reports "inconsistent
{INITIAL USE} -> {IN-NMI}" on &l->lock (syzbot c69a0a2c816716f1e0d5)
and "possible recursive locking detected" on &loc_l->lock (syzbot
18b26edb69b2e19f3b33).
Prior trylock and rqspinlock based fixes (see links) were nacked
because compromised on reliability.
This patch converts every LRU lock site to rqspinlock_t and adds a
recovery path for some failure windows to avoid node leaks.
Failure recovery:
- *_pop_free top-level: return NULL; prealloc_lru_pop() already
treats that as no-free-element (-ENOMEM).
- Cross-CPU steal: skip the victim's locked loc_l, try next CPU.
- Post-steal local lock fail: publish stolen node to lockless
per-CPU free_llist; next pop on this CPU picks it up.
- push_free fail: mark node pending_free=1. __local_list_flush(),
__local_list_pop_pending() reclaim the node from pending_list.
__bpf_lru_list_shrink_inactive() reclaims the node from inactive
list. Nodes from active list are reclaimed by __bpf_lru_list_shrink()
or after __bpf_lru_list_rotate_active() demotes it to the inactive. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware_loader: Fix recursive lock in device_cache_fw_images()
A recursive locking deadlock can occur in the firmware loader's power
management notification handler.
During system suspend or hibernation preparation, fw_pm_notify() calls
device_cache_fw_images(). This function acquires fw_lock to set the
firmware cache state to FW_LOADER_START_CACHE and then iterates over all
devices using dpm_for_each_dev() while still holding the lock.
For each device, dev_cache_fw_image() schedules asynchronous work to cache
the firmware. If memory allocation for the async work entry fails (e.g., in
out-of-memory conditions), async_schedule_node_domain() falls back to
executing the work function synchronously in the current thread.
The synchronous execution path (__async_dev_cache_fw_image() ->
cache_firmware() -> request_firmware() -> assign_fw()) attempts to acquire
fw_lock again. Since the current thread already holds fw_lock, this results
in a recursive locking deadlock.
Fix this by releasing fw_lock immediately after updating the cache state
and before calling dpm_for_each_dev(). The lock is only needed to protect
the state update. Concurrent firmware requests will correctly see the
FW_LOADER_START_CACHE state and use the piggyback mechanism, which is
independently protected by its own fwc->name_lock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: avoid self-deadlock during inode eviction
An attribute-list update performed while allocating clusters can drop the
last reference to the temporary attribute inode. Evicting that inode
drops its reference to the base inode and can invoke ntfs_drop_big_inode()
for the base inode from within the base inode's own writeback path.
If the base inode is unlinked, ntfs_drop_big_inode() calls
truncate_setsize(), which waits for the inode's folio writeback to
complete. The same writeback worker is responsible for completing that
writeback, so it waits for itself indefinitely.
Prevent this self-deadlock by grabbing a reference to the base inode at the
beginning of ntfs_writepages() and releasing it at the end of the function.
This defers eviction until all bios have been submitted, allowing the wait
for folio writeback to complete safely. |

fs/proc/task_mmu: fix hugetlb self-deadlock in pagemap_scan_pte_hole()
A PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl requesting PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING on a hugetlb VMA hangs
the calling thread, unkillably, as soon as the scan reaches an unpopulated
part of the range:
do_pagemap_scan()
walk_page_range()
walk_hugetlb_range()
hugetlb_vma_lock_read() # take the vma lock for read ...
pagemap_scan_pte_hole() # ... ->pte_hole() for a hole
uffd_wp_range()
change_protection()
hugetlb_change_protection()
hugetlb_vma_lock_write() # ... and block taking it for write
walk_hugetlb_range() holds the hugetlb vma lock for read across the whole
walk. A present entry goes to ->hugetlb_entry(); an unpopulated one goes
to ->pte_hole(), i.e. pagemap_scan_pte_hole(). To write-protect the hole
that handler calls uffd_wp_range(), which on a hugetlb VMA reaches
hugetlb_change_protection() and takes the same vma lock for write. The
thread then blocks in down_write() waiting for the read lock it is itself
holding.
The populated path avoids this: pagemap_scan_hugetlb_entry()
write-protects the entry inline under the page-table lock and never enters
hugetlb_change_protection().
Do the same for holes. Fault in the page table and install the uffd-wp
marker directly with make_uffd_wp_huge_pte() under the page-table lock,
rather than routing through uffd_wp_range(). That is the same sequence
hugetlb_change_protection() runs for an unpopulated entry, minus the vma
write lock -- which is safe to skip because PMD sharing is disabled on
uffd-wp VMAs (hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds() runs at registration), leaving
nothing for that lock to serialise against. |

f2fs: fix potential deadlock in gc_merge path of f2fs_balance_fs()
When we mount device w/ gc_merge mount option, we may suffer below
potential deadlock:
Kworker GC trehad Truncator
- f2fs_write_cache_pages
- f2fs_write_single_data_page
- f2fs_do_write_data_page
- folio_start_writeback --- set writeback flag on folio
- f2fs_outplace_write_data
: cached folio in internal bio cache
- f2fs_balance_fs
- wake_up(gc_thread)
: wake up gc thread to run foreground GC
- finish_wait(fggc_wq)
: wait on the waitqueue --- wait on GC thread to finish the work
- truncate_inode_pages_range
- __filemap_get_folio(, FGP_LOCK) --- lock folio
- truncate_inode_partial_folio
- folio_wait_writeback --- wait on writeback being cleared
- do_garbage_collect
- move_data_page
- f2fs_get_lock_data_folio
- lock on folio --- blocked on folio's lock
In order to avoid such deadlock, let's call below functions to commit
cached bios in GC_MERGE path of f2fs_balance_fs() as the same as we did
in NOGC_MERGE path.
- f2fs_submit_merged_write(sbi, DATA);
- f2fs_submit_all_merged_ipu_writes(sbi); |

phonet/pep: disable BH around forwarded sk_receive_skb()
The networking receive path is usually run from softirq context, but
protocols that take the socket lock may have packets stored in the
backlog and processed later from process context. In that case
release_sock() -> __release_sock() drops the slock with spin_unlock_bh()
and then calls sk->sk_backlog_rcv() with bottom halves enabled.
Typical sk_backlog_rcv handlers process the socket whose backlog is
being drained, so the BH state at entry is irrelevant for the slocks
they touch. pep_do_rcv() is different: when the inbound skb targets an
existing PEP pipe, it forwards the skb to a different *child* socket
via sk_receive_skb(). That helper takes the child slock with
bh_lock_sock_nested(), which is just spin_lock_nested() and assumes BH
is already off. The same child slock therefore ends up acquired with
BH on (process path) and with BH off (softirq path):
process context softirq context
--------------- ---------------
release_sock(listener) __netif_receive_skb()
__release_sock() phonet_rcv()
spin_unlock_bh() __sk_receive_skb(listener)
[BH now ENABLED] [BH already disabled]
sk_backlog_rcv: sk_backlog_rcv:
pep_do_rcv() pep_do_rcv()
sk_receive_skb(child) sk_receive_skb(child)
bh_lock_sock_nested(child) bh_lock_sock_nested(child)
=> SOFTIRQ-ON-W => IN-SOFTIRQ-W
Lockdep flags this as inconsistent lock state, and it can become a real
self-deadlock if a softirq on the same CPU tries to receive to the same
child socket while its slock is held in the BH-enabled path:
WARNING: inconsistent lock state
inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage.

Wrap the forwarded sk_receive_skb() in local_bh_disable() /
local_bh_enable() so the child slock is always acquired with BH off.
local_bh_disable() nests safely on the softirq path.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Do not allow deleting local storage in NMI
Currently, local storage may deadlock when deferring freeing selem or
local storage through kfree_rcu(), call_rcu() or call_rcu_tasks_trace()
in NMI or reentrant. Since deleting selem in NMI is an unlikely use
case, partially mitigate it by returning error when calling from
bpf_xxx_storage_delete() helpers in NMI. Note that, it is still possible
to deadlock through reentrant. A full mitigation requires returning
error when irqs_disabled() is true, which, however is too heavy-handed
for bpf_xxx_storage_delete().
The long-term solution requires _nolock versions of call_rcu. Another
possible solution is to defer the free through irq_work [0], but it
would grow the size of selem, which is non-ideal.
The check is only needed in bpf_selem_unlink(), which is used by helpers
and syscalls. bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() is fine as it is called during
map and owner tear down that never run in NMI or reentrant.
