Description

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