Busy buffers therefore do not\nconsume the scan budget.\n\nIf a checkpoint transaction contains mostly busy buffers, the shrinker\ncan scan its entire checkpoint list while holding journal->j_list_lock.\nLarge checkpoint lists can result in excessive lock hold times and leave\nother CPUs spinning on j_list_lock, causing soft lockups or RCU stalls.\n\nPass nr_to_scan into journal_shrink_one_cp_list() and decrement it for\nevery buffer examined, including busy buffers. Pass NULL from checkpoint\ncleanup paths so their existing full-list behavior is preserved.\n\nThis restores the scan-budget semantics that existed before\njournal_shrink_one_cp_list() was changed to always scan a complete\ncheckpoint list." } ], "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": "6b5366ba63a58819396045ab146bd37ff9e503c6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b98dba273a0e47dbfade89c9af73c5b012a4eabb", "lessThan": "edf5fcd0469b7467bd5b37a79502c8d9c3257dbb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b98dba273a0e47dbfade89c9af73c5b012a4eabb", "lessThan": "71c6b872c746465fa4b5def239cb296173ca8216", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b98dba273a0e47dbfade89c9af73c5b012a4eabb", "lessThan": "c2c0fb364685b8996c357d3b050394959b29d6e0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b98dba273a0e47dbfade89c9af73c5b012a4eabb", "lessThan": "15cb16496446b94e67f7abcb049b8e2c75cd3d02", "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/6b5366ba63a58819396045ab146bd37ff9e503c6" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/edf5fcd0469b7467bd5b37a79502c8d9c3257dbb" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/71c6b872c746465fa4b5def239cb296173ca8216" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c2c0fb364685b8996c357d3b050394959b29d6e0" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/15cb16496446b94e67f7abcb049b8e2c75cd3d02" } ], "title": "jbd2: bound shrinker scans by examined checkpoint buffers", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
