Task A enters ntfs_read_folio() for page X. It acquires ni_lock.\n2. Task A calls ni_read_folio_cmpr(), which attempts to lock all pages in\n the compressed frame (including page Y).\n3. Concurrently, Task B (e.g., via readahead) has locked page Y and\n calls ntfs_read_folio().\n4. Task B waits for ni_lock (held by A).\n5. Task A waits for page Y lock (held by B).\n -> DEADLOCK.\n\nThe fix is to restructure locking: do not take ni_lock in ntfs_read_folio().\nInstead, acquire ni_lock inside ni_read_folio_cmpr() ONLY AFTER all required\npage locks for the frame have been successfully acquired. This restores the\ncorrect lock ordering (Page Lock -> ni_lock) consistent with VFS.\n\n[almaz.alexandrovich@paragon-software.com: ni_readpage_cmpr was renamed to ni_read_folio_cmpr]" } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/ntfs3/frecord.c", "fs/ntfs3/inode.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "f35590ee26f5722bfe12cdff14396c4c057a8f74", "lessThan": "cfe246b318106e1691bd6c9466c739e8559d25c2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "f35590ee26f5722bfe12cdff14396c4c057a8f74", "lessThan": "e37a75bb866c29da954b51d0dd7670406246d9ee", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/ntfs3/frecord.c", "fs/ntfs3/inode.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.19", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.19", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.0", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cfe246b318106e1691bd6c9466c739e8559d25c2" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e37a75bb866c29da954b51d0dd7670406246d9ee" } ], "title": "fs/ntfs3: fix deadlock in ni_read_folio_cmpr", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
