CVE-2026-63800

Vulnerability Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

pNFS: Fix use-after-free in pnfs_update_layout()

When hitting the NFS_LAYOUT_RETURN branch in pnfs_update_layout(),
the code calls pnfs_prepare_to_retry_layoutget(lo). If it succeeds,
pnfs_put_layout_hdr(lo) is called before trace_pnfs_update_layout(),
which still references 'lo'. This results in a use-after-free when the
tracepoint accesses lo's fields.

Fix this by moving the tracepoint call before pnfs_put_layout_hdr(lo).
