Rather than\nadding the barriers, this patch replaces the waitqueue+flag with\na completion, which is designed for this exact purpose.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/706591cccdd3ac2c0ddc8c2ed6c89a6be9865826","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7d89bff21c12e543d12ad70cb0103cf815891b24","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8de303efe2ff4fcbf240dfc6eb3469e1e8f18a3f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bde37aed0724c0139dea177f3aae8d989b6babb1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d9c8c45e6d2f438a3c8e643ae78b59454fa0fadd"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72494","score":0.00671,"percentile":0.5175,"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).
