CVE-2026-89567 : Chi tiết

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: jbd2: bound shrinker scans by examined checkpoint buffers The jbd2 shrinker currently accounts only checkpoint buffers that it successfully releases against nr_to_scan. Busy buffers therefore do not consume the scan budget. If a checkpoint transaction contains mostly busy buffers, the shrinker can scan its entire checkpoint list while holding journal->j_list_lock. Large checkpoint lists can result in excessive lock hold times and leave other CPUs spinning on j_list_lock, causing soft lockups or RCU stalls. Pass nr_to_scan into journal_shrink_one_cp_list() and decrement it for every buffer examined, including busy buffers. Pass NULL from checkpoint cleanup paths so their existing full-list behavior is preserved. This restores the scan-budget semantics that existed before journal_shrink_one_cp_list() was changed to always scan a complete checkpoint list.
