File-operation stalls via leaked invalidate lock
Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026
Denial of service in the Linux kernel FUSE subsystem allows local users to stall later file faults and truncates through a DAX setattr. fuse_do_setattr() returns directly when write_inode_now() fails after taking filemap_invalidate_lock(), leaving the invalidate rwsem held. Reachability requires a DAX FUSE file, truncate-related attribute changes, writeback, and a writeback failure such as a daemon EIO response.
