CVE-2026-46194 Detail
Received
This CVE record has recently been published to the CVE List and has been included within the NVD dataset. DescriptionIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix node_cnt race between extent node destroy and writeback f2fs_destroy_extent_node() does not set FI_NO_EXTENT before clearing extent nodes. When called from f2fs_drop_inode() with I_SYNC set, concurrent kworker writeback can insert new extent nodes into the same extent tree, racing with the destroy and triggering f2fs_bug_on() in __destroy_extent_node(). The scenario is as follows: drop inode writeback - iput - f2fs_drop_inode // I_SYNC set - f2fs_destroy_extent_node - __destroy_extent_node - while (node_cnt) { write_lock(&et->lock) __free_extent_tree write_unlock(&et->lock) - __writeback_single_inode - f2fs_outplace_write_data - f2fs_update_read_extent_cache - __update_extent_tree_range // FI_NO_EXTENT not set, // insert new extent node } // node_cnt == 0, exit while - f2fs_bug_on(node_cnt) // node_cnt > 0 Additionally, __update_extent_tree_range() only checks FI_NO_EXTENT for EX_READ type, leaving EX_BLOCK_AGE updates completely unprotected. This patch set FI_NO_EXTENT under et->lock in __destroy_extent_node(), consistent with other callers (__update_extent_tree_range and __drop_extent_tree) and check FI_NO_EXTENT for both EX_READ and EX_BLOCK_AGE tree.
