CVE-2026-90247CVE-2026-90247
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix mmap_lock leak in irq_work path
stack_map_get_build_id_offset() introduced a per-CPU irq_work to defer
mmap_read_unlock() from NMI context, and bpf_find_vma() later reused the
same mmap_unlock_work. Both callers only check whether the work is busy
before taking mmap_lock, so a nested caller can reuse the slot before the
first caller queues it. Two read locks may then be acquired while only one
deferred unlock runs, leaking a read lock and blocking exit_mmap().
Reserve the per-CPU slot before mmap_read_trylock(). Use the same wrapper
in stackmap and bpf_find_vma() so both callers release the reservation on
trylock failure. Keep rejecting the slot while the irq_work remains busy.
Release it after the irq_work callback unlocks the mm.
