Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: scrub: unlock dquot before early return in quota scrub xchk_quota_item can return early after calling xchk_fblock_process_error. When that helper returns false, the function returned immediately without dropping dq->q_qlock, which can leave the dquot lock held and risk lock leaks or deadlocks in later quota operations. Fix this by unlocking dq->q_qlock before the early return.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 6.8.1 < 6.12.80) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.21) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.11) • linux linux kernel 6.8 • linux linux kernel 7.0
