CVE-2026-89491CVE-2026-89491
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: cluster: don't sleep while holding o2hb_live_lock in o2hb_region_pin()
Patch series "ocfs2: cluster: o2hb_region_pin() fixes", v2.
This series fixes three related issues in o2hb_region_pin(), all are from
the original implementation in commit: 58a3158a5d17 ("ocfs2/cluster:
Pin/unpin o2hb regions"):
1) It is called with o2hb_live_lock (a spinlock) held, but the
underlying configfs_depend_item() sleeps (takes inode rwsem and
pins the filesystem). This triggers BUG under
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP.
2) When called from the configfs drop_item callback, it creates a
lock order inversion: parent inode_lock -> configfs root
inode_lock, which can deadlock against subsystem unregistration
paths taking root -> parent.
3) If pinning fails partway through o2hb_region_inc_user(), the
o2hb_dependent_users counter is leaked and partially-pinned
regions are never released, leaving heartbeat regions
