This is\nexpected and with rbd_release_lock() preemptively canceling lock_dwork\nis benign under normal operation.\n\nA more problematic example is maybe_kick_acquire():\n\n    if (have_requests || delayed_work_pending(&rbd_dev->lock_dwork)) {\n            dout(\"%s rbd_dev %p kicking lock_dwork\\n\", __func__, rbd_dev);\n            mod_delayed_work(rbd_dev->task_wq, &rbd_dev->lock_dwork, 0);\n    }\n\nIt's not unrealistic for lock_dwork to get canceled right after\ndelayed_work_pending() returns true and for mod_delayed_work() to\nrequeue it right there anyway.  This is a classic TOCTOU race.\n\nWhen it comes to unmapping the image, there is an implicit assumption\nof no self-initiated exclusive lock activity past the point of return\nfrom rbd_dev_image_unlock() which unlocks the lock if it happens to be\nheld.  This unlock is assumed to be final and lock_dwork (as well as\nall other exclusive lock tasks, really) isn't expected to get queued\nagain.  However, lock_dwork is canceled only in cancel_tasks_sync()\n(i.e. later in the unmap sequence) and on top of that the cancellation\ncan get in effect nullified by maybe_kick_acquire().  This may result\nin rbd_acquire_lock() executing after rbd_dev_device_release() and\nrbd_dev_image_release() run and free and/or reset a bunch of things.\nOne of the possible failure modes then is a violated\n\n    rbd_assert(rbd_image_format_valid(rbd_dev->image_format));\n\nin rbd_dev_header_info() which is called via rbd_dev_refresh() from\nrbd_post_acquire_action().\n\nRedo exclusive lock task draining to provide saner semantics and try\nto meet the assumptions around rbd_dev_image_unlock().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-367","CWE-362"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3427d7ae38337066ce88b68302e285d344ab756b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9400efc76b42c751211974a25c91d2c19c65b01b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9dcd4f5c99b491c37be90b0bd9988db48225fb75","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9fc75b71fdd38465c76c6f6a884cdd4ae3c72d90"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64112","score":0.001,"percentile":0.00824,"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).
