In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

NFS: Fix nfsnetfsissue_read() xarray locking for writeback interrupt

The loop inside nfsnetfsissueread() currently does not disable interrupts while iterating through pages in the xarray to submit for NFS read. This is not safe though since after taking xalock, another page in the mapping could be processed for writeback inside an interrupt, and deadlock can occur. The fix is simple and clean if we use xaforeach_range(), which handles the iteration with RCU while reducing code complexity.

The problem is easily reproduced with the following test: mount -o vers=3,fsc 127.0.0.1:/export /mnt/nfs dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/nfs/file1.bin bs=4096 count=1 echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches dd if=/mnt/nfs/file1.bin of=/dev/null umount /mnt/nfs

On the console with a lockdep-enabled kernel a message similar to the following will be seen:
