fs/fcntl: fix SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling

2026-06-19T11:42:36+00:00

commit 00633c4683828acd5256fa8d5163f440d74bbe71 upstream. A SOFTIRQ-safe to SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order deadlock can occur in send_sigio() and send_sigurg() when a process group receives a signal. When FASYNC is configured for a process group (PIDTYPE_PGID), both functions use read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to traverse the task list. However, they are frequently called from softirq context: - send_sigio() via input_inject_event -> kill_fasync - send_sigurg() via tcp_check_urg -> sk_send_sigurg (NET_RX_SOFTIRQ) The deadlock is caused by the rwlock writer fairness mechanism: 1. CPU 0 (process context) holds read_lock(&tasklist_lock) in do_wait(). 2. CPU 1 (process context) attempts write_lock(&tasklist_lock) in fork() or exit() and spins, which blocks all new readers. 3. CPU 0 is interrupted by a softirq (e.g., TCP URG packet reception). 4. The softirq calls send_sigurg() and attempts to acquire read_lock(&tasklist_lock), deadlocking because CPU 1 is waiting. Since PID hashing and do_each_pid_task() traversals are already RCU-protected, the read_lock on tasklist_lock is no longer strictly required for safe traversal. Fix this by replacing tasklist_lock with rcu_read_lock(), aligning the process group signaling path with the single-PID path. This also mitigates a potential remote denial of service vector via TCP URG packets.

fuse: reject fuse_notify() pagecache ops on directories

2026-06-19T11:42:31+00:00

commit 9c954499d43aefac01c5dfb57a82b13d2dcf4b94 upstream. The operations FUSE_NOTIFY_STORE and FUSE_NOTIFY_RETRIEVE allow the FUSE daemon to actively write/read pagecache contents. For directories with FOPEN_CACHE_DIR, the pagecache is used as kernel-internal cache storage, and userspace is not supposed to have direct access to this cache - in particular, fuse_parse_cache() will hit WARN_ON() if the cache contains bogus data. Reject FUSE_NOTIFY_STORE and FUSE_NOTIFY_RETRIEVE on anything other than regular files with -EINVAL.

fs/qnx6: fix pointer arithmetic in directory iteration

2026-06-19T11:42:31+00:00

commit 89c4a1167f3a0a0efd2ec3e1801036d2eb65ae1a upstream. The conversion to qnx6_get_folio() in commit b2aa61556fcf ("qnx6: Convert qnx6_get_page() to qnx6_get_folio()") introduced a regression in directory iteration. The pointer 'de' and the 'limit' address were calculated using byte offsets from a char pointer without scaling by the size of a QNX6 directory entry. This causes the driver to read from incorrect memory offsets, leading to "invalid direntry size" errors and premature termination of directory scans. Fix this by casting 'kaddr' to 'struct qnx6_dir_entry *' before applying the offset and last_entry(...) increments. This allows the compiler to correctly scale the pointer arithmetic by the 32-byte stride of the directory entry structure.

ksmbd: fix use-after-free of a deferred file_lock on double SMB2_CANCEL

2026-06-19T11:42:28+00:00

commit f580d27e8928828693df44ba2db0fffdbe11dfea upstream. A deferred byte-range lock (an SMB2_LOCK that blocks) registers an async work on conn->async_requests via setup_async_work(), with cancel_fn = smb2_remove_blocked_lock and cancel_argv[0] pointing at the struct file_lock. When the request is cancelled, the worker frees the file_lock with locks_free_lock() and takes the cancelled early-exit, which "goto out"s and never reaches release_async_work() -- the only site that unlinks the work from conn->async_requests and clears cancel_fn/cancel_argv. The work therefore stays matchable on async_requests with a live cancel_fn pointing at the freed file_lock, until connection teardown finally runs release_async_work(). smb2_cancel() fires cancel_fn unconditionally with no state guard, so a second SMB2_CANCEL for the same AsyncId, arriving in that window, re-runs smb2_remove_blocked_lock() on the freed file_lock -- a slab use-after-free: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __locks_delete_block __locks_delete_block locks_delete_block ksmbd_vfs_posix_lock_unblock smb2_remove_blocked_lock smb2_cancel <- 2nd SMB2_CANCEL fires cancel_fn handle_ksmbd_work Allocated by ...: locks_alloc_lock <- smb2_lock Freed by ...: locks_free_lock <- smb2_lock (cancelled branch) ... cache file_lock_cache of size 192 Reproduced on mainline with KASAN by an authenticated SMB client.

writeback: Fix use after free in inode_switch_wbs_work_fn()

2026-06-19T11:42:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6689f01d6740cf358932b3e97ee968c6099800d9 ] inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() has a loop like: wb_get(new_wb); while (1) { list = llist_del_all(&new_wb->switch_wbs_ctxs); /* Nothing to do? */ if (!list) break; ... process the items ... } Now adding of items to the list looks like: wb_queue_isw() if (llist_add(&isw->list, &wb->switch_wbs_ctxs)) queue_work(isw_wq, &wb->switch_work); Because inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() loops when processing isw items, it can happen that wb->switch_work is pending while wb->switch_wbs_ctxs is empty. This is a problem because in that case wb can get freed (no isw items -> no wb reference) while the work is still pending causing use-after-free issues. We cannot just fix this by cancelling work when freeing wb because that could still trigger problematic 0 -> 1 transitions on wb refcount due to wb_get() in inode_switch_wbs_work_fn(). It could be all handled with more careful code but that seems unnecessarily complex so let's avoid that until it is proven that the looping actually brings practical benefit. Just remove the loop from inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() instead. That way when wb_queue_isw() queues work, we are guaranteed we have added the first item to wb->switch_wbs_ctxs and nobody is going to remove it (and drop the wb reference it holds) until the queued work runs.

writeback: Avoid contention on wb->list_lock when switching inodes

2026-06-19T11:42:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit e1b849cfa6b61f1c866a908c9e8dd9b5aaab820b ] There can be multiple inode switch works that are trying to switch inodes to / from the same wb. This can happen in particular if some cgroup exits which owns many (thousands) inodes and we need to switch them all. In this case several inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() instances will be just spinning on the same wb->list_lock while only one of them makes forward progress. This wastes CPU cycles and quickly leads to softlockup reports and unusable system. Instead of running several inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() instances in parallel switching to the same wb and contending on wb->list_lock, run just one work item per wb and manage a queue of isw items switching to this wb.

iomap: don't revert iov_iter on partially completed buffered writes

2026-06-19T11:42:23+00:00

Gregg reports that the iomap retry behavior for nonblocking (nowait) append writes is broken. The problem occurs when an append write is first submitted in non-blocking mode (i.e. via io_uring), partially completes before hitting -EAGAIN, and then is resubmitted from blocking context. The specific problem is that at least one iteration of the loop in iomap_write_iter() completes in non-blocking context and thus has bumped i_size. The next iteration hits -EAGAIN, reverts the iov_iter and returns. io_uring retries the entire append write from blocking context, but since i_size has already been increased, the data that was partially written on the first attempt is rewritten at the new i_size. This is essentially an intra-write data corruption since the data written to the file does not reflect the write from userspace. This problem is already fixed on master as of commit 1a1a3b574b97 ("iomap: advance the iter directly on buffered writes"). That commit was primarily intended to clean up iomap iter state tracking, but it also happened to remove the iov_iter revert and thus accidentally fix this problem as well. Without the revert, iomap will commit partial progress internally and loop once more before it more than likely hits -EAGAIN and returns partial progress consistent with the inode updates. This means the blocking retry from io_uring will pick up where the first attempt left off at the current i_size and perform the remainder of the write correctly.

ksmbd: fix NULL-deref of opinfo->conn in oplock/lease break notifiers

2026-06-19T11:42:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit b003086d76968298f22e7cf62239833b5a3a06b1 ] smb2_oplock_break_noti() and smb2_lease_break_noti() read opinfo->conn into a local with neither READ_ONCE() nor a NULL check. Both run from oplock_break() after opinfo_get_list() has dropped ci->m_lock, so a concurrent SMB2 LOGOFF (session_fd_check()) can set op->conn = NULL under ci->m_lock within that window. ksmbd_conn_r_count_inc(conn) then writes through NULL at offset 0xc4 -- a remotely triggerable oops. Guard both reads the way compare_guid_key() already does: read opinfo->conn with READ_ONCE() and return early if it is NULL, before allocating the work struct so nothing leaks. A NULL conn means the client is gone and the break is moot, so return 0; oplock_break() treats that as success and runs the normal teardown.
