In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS/localio: prevent direct reclaim recursion into NFS via nfs_writepages
LOCALIO is an NFS loopback mount optimization that avoids using the
network for READ, WRITE and COMMIT if the NFS client and server are
determined to be on the same system. But because LOCALIO is still
fundamentally "just NFS loopback mount" it is susceptible to recursion
deadlock via direct reclaim, e.g.: NFS LOCALIO down to XFS and then
back into NFS via nfs_writepages.
Fix LOCALIO's potential for direct reclaim deadlock by ensuring that
all its page cache allocations are done from GFP_NOFS context.
Thanks to Ben Coddington for pointing out commit ad22c7a043c2 ("xfs:
prevent stack overflows from page cache allocation").
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the NFS (Network File System) LOCALIO optimization. This vulnerability allows for a recursion deadlock to occur during direct reclaim operations. When LOCALIO attempts to write pages back into NFS via nfs_writepages, it can lead to a system deadlock, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
