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":"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":"6.12.109","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-rc1","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":"6.12.109"},{"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-rc1"},{"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/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"}}}}
