CVE-2025-21900
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4: Fix a deadlock when recovering state on a sillyrenamed file
If the file is sillyrenamed, and slated for delete on close, it is
possible for a server reboot to triggeer an open reclaim, with can again
race with the application call to close(). When that happens, the call
to put_nfs_open_context() can trigger a synchronous delegreturn call
which deadlocks because it is not marked as privileged.
Instead, ensure that the call to nfs4_inode_return_delegation_on_close()
catches the delegreturn, and schedules it asynchronously.
