CVE-2026-80804

What the bug is

When __xfs_trans_commit() fails in xfs_trans_roll(), the NOFS context is cleared but only restored in the success path. This leaves the error path without nofs protection, causing a circular lock dependency between xfs_nondir_ilock_class and fs_reclaim: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&xfs_nondir_ilock_class); lock(fs_reclaim); lock(&xfs_nondir_ilock_class); lock(fs_reclaim); Fix this by moving xfs_trans_set_context() before the error check so that nofs context is always restored on the new transaction.

Where it lives

The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

What this is

XFS FILESYSTEMMAINTAINERS section matched on fs/xfs/ · linux-xfs@vger.kernel.org · Supported

Kernel module

xfs

Check it on the machine

grep -w CONFIG_XFS_FS /boot/config-$(uname -r)

Reads the booted kernel's own configuration, on the machine and nowhere else. =y is built in, =m is a module, and an is not set line means the code is not there.

lsmod | grep -w xfs

Prints a line if that module is loaded right now, and nothing if it is not. One that is not loaded can still be loaded later by anything that needs it.

Show whether Debian builds this, per release

Debian builds this as a loadable module. Every release below compiles it as a module on every flavour, so whether the code is in the running kernel depends on whether that module is loaded.

Build switch

CONFIG_XFS_FS

From the configuration Debian publishes for every kernel flavour it builds. It covers only the architectures Debian ships a linux-config package for, and nothing about a kernel you built yourself.
