Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
Revert "fs/ntfs3: Replace inode_trylock with inode_lock"<br />
<br />
This reverts commit 69505fe98f198ee813898cbcaf6770949636430b.<br />
<br />
Initially, conditional lock acquisition was removed to fix an xfstest bug<br />
that was observed during internal testing. The deadlock reported by syzbot<br />
is resolved by reintroducing conditional acquisition. The xfstest bug no<br />
longer occurs on kernel version 6.16-rc1 during internal testing. I<br />
assume that changes in other modules may have contributed to this.
