Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-04 16:23:12 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fuse: fix invalidate lock leak on open O_TRUNC DAX failure

fuse_open() takes filemap_invalidate_lock() for a DAX truncate
(dax_truncate = true) and releases it before the out_inode_unlock
label.  But when fuse_dax_break_layouts() fails, the goto
out_inode_unlock skips the unlock and leaks the rwsem, so any later
fault or truncate on the file stalls on the stale lock.

fuse_dax_break_layouts() can fail with -ERESTARTSYS when a signal
interrupts the wait for busy DAX pages to drain:

  open("file", O_RDWR | O_TRUNC)
  └─ fuse_open()
     ├─ filemap_invalidate_lock()        # dax_truncate
     └─ fuse_dax_break_layouts()
        └─ dax_break_layout()
           └─ wait_page_idle()           # TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
              └─ fuse_wait_dax_page()    # unlock, schedule, re-lock
                 └─ signal → -ERESTARTSYS
     goto out_inode_unlock               # <- lock leaked

Fix this by moving filemap_invalidate_unlock() below the label so
that all error paths release the lock, and rename the label to
out_unlock as it now covers more than just the inode lock.
