CVE-2026-89686
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix BUGON in nfsd4alloclayoutstateid on racing delegation revoke
nfsd4alloclayoutstateid reads fp->fideleg_file without holding
fi_lock when the parent stateid is a delegation. A concurrent delegation
revoke via the laundromat can clear fidelegfile under fi_lock, causing
nfsdfileget() to return NULL and triggering the BUG_ON.
This race is client-reachable: two NFS clients can trigger it by having
one hold a delegation while another opens the same file to force a
recall. When the first client doesn't respond to the recall, the
laundromat revokes it. A concurrent LAYOUTGET from any client using the
delegation stateid hits the race window.
Fix this by taking filock around the fideleg_file read in the
SCTYPEDELEG path, matching the locking discipline of the
findanyfile() arm, and replacing the BUG_ON with a graceful error
return that cleans up the partially-initialized layout stateid.
