The continue statement on this path also\nskips the need_resched() check at the end of the loop body.\n\nConsequently, when a checkpoint list contains mostly busy buffers, the\nshrinker can walk the entire list while holding journal->j_list_lock,\neven when a reschedule has been requested. Large checkpoint lists under\nmemory pressure can therefore cause long lock hold times and leave other\nCPUs spinning on j_list_lock, resulting in soft lockups or RCU stalls.\n\nRoute the busy-buffer path through the need_resched() check so that the\nshrinker can release j_list_lock and reschedule promptly, restoring\nparity with the clean-buffer path, which already checks need_resched().\nThis does not change which checkpoint buffers are eligible for removal." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/jbd2/checkpoint.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "b98dba273a0e47dbfade89c9af73c5b012a4eabb", "lessThan": "dc7ece0b827fe3b748db685fb85cd2fc3710c3f9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b98dba273a0e47dbfade89c9af73c5b012a4eabb", "lessThan": "f83c23286e54180cdc83a36463a60003534cc290", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b98dba273a0e47dbfade89c9af73c5b012a4eabb", "lessThan": "f9182a85991a0ad5cd2940df6db75f40ad90028c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b98dba273a0e47dbfade89c9af73c5b012a4eabb", "lessThan": "595cac7f1b32d009b97f83dd2b2d6a1a445e9bb4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b98dba273a0e47dbfade89c9af73c5b012a4eabb", "lessThan": "f213e12ff5c9590b1034ae8da0e6d09665c772d0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "9c31bb2684f8035beca0275349d19d679b679ffb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5fda50e262e65bd553ff777c4b280afd1495a18b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "557fda9ed70ebf8eda2620ba3d746215285a1303", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5.15.129", "lessThan": "5.16", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.50", "lessThan": "6.2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.4.13", "lessThan": "6.5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/jbd2/checkpoint.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.5", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.5", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.109", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.50", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "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": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.109" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.50" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15.129" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1.50" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.4.13" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dc7ece0b827fe3b748db685fb85cd2fc3710c3f9" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f83c23286e54180cdc83a36463a60003534cc290" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f9182a85991a0ad5cd2940df6db75f40ad90028c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/595cac7f1b32d009b97f83dd2b2d6a1a445e9bb4" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f213e12ff5c9590b1034ae8da0e6d09665c772d0" } ], "title": "jbd2: check need_resched() when skipping busy checkpoint buffers", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
