Linux Kernel gfs2 Fiemap Recursion Glock Issue
CVE-2026-43262 Published on May 6, 2026
gfs2: fiemap page fault fix
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: fiemap page fault fix
In gfs2_fiemap(), we are calling iomap_fiemap() while holding the inode
glock. This can lead to recursive glock taking if the fiemap buffer is
memory mapped to the same inode and accessing it triggers a page fault.
Fix by disabling page faults for iomap_fiemap() and faulting in the
buffer by hand if necessary.
Fixes xfstest generic/742.
