When a service runs\nfewer threads than it has pools -- e.g. an nfsd configured with fewer\nthreads than the host has NUMA nodes while running in \"pernode\" or\n\"percpu\" mode -- the trailing pools are left with no threads at all.\n\nsvc_xprt_enqueue() selects a pool from the CPU servicing the transport,\nqueues the transport on that pool's sp_xprts, and only wakes a thread\nfrom the same pool.  Each thread services exclusively its own pool, so a\ntransport that lands on a threadless pool is enqueued on sp_xprts and\nnever picked up: the connection hangs indefinitely.\n\nHave svc_pool_for_cpu() skip pools that currently have no threads,\nfalling back to the next populated pool.  This trades NUMA locality for\na guarantee that the work is actually serviced.  sp_nrthreads is only\nupdated under the service mutex; the lockless read here is a best-effort\nrouting hint, so annotate it with data_race().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/011479cf9a7657d4a3e7cc42a784ac63df594170","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6f66d38e2a6c78d48723ea17ad86135ec80ca24b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8f766d2d0b4dabf54f8b35812df2b4f481d13316","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9accc25e5af0bac8479f6054e674b2c593c45281","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9d04d64ad192439835ed9884d767353061c3ed6f"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:53:43.293028046+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-89549","score":0.00707,"percentile":0.53154,"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).
