netfs, afs: Fix write skipping in dir/link writepages
Summary
| CVE | CVE-2026-64156 |
| State | PUBLISHED |
| Assigner | Linux |
| Source Priority | CVE Program / NVD first with legacy fallback |

| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs, afs: Fix write skipping in dir/link writepages
Fix netfs_write_single() and afs_single_writepages() to better handle a
write that would be skipped due to lock contention and WB_SYNC_NONE by
returning 1 from netfs_write_single() if it skipped and making
afs_single_writepages() skip also. If a skip occurs, the inode must be
re-marked as the VFS may have cleared the mark.
This is really only theoretical for directories in netfs_write_single() as
the only path to that is through afs_single_writepages() that takes the
->validate_lock around it, thereby serialising it. |
