But because LOCALIO is still\nfundamentally \"just NFS loopback mount\" it is susceptible to recursion\ndeadlock via direct reclaim, e.g.: NFS LOCALIO down to XFS and then\nback into NFS via nfs_writepages.\n\nFix LOCALIO's potential for direct reclaim deadlock by ensuring that\nall its page cache allocations are done from GFP_NOFS context.\n\nThanks to Ben Coddington for pointing out commit ad22c7a043c2 (\"xfs:\nprevent stack overflows from page cache allocation\").","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-667"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/67435d2d8a33a75f9647724952cb1b18279d2e95","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6a5de0c4fc0f217eea945d3d72c34ee30d72cbc9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9118e1cab8a5571c6a95011f77ff28480aee9cb0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ae26a4cf2baf0a44c538dc093504d1994b02dade"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-46256","score":0.00133,"percentile":0.02821,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
