Created: May 5, 2025 Updated: Sep 1, 2025

Resolved Date: May 6, 2025

Found In Version: 10.25.33.1

Severity: Standard

Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 25

Component/s: Kernel

Description

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

ext4: Fix deadlock during directory rename

As lockdep properly warns, we should not be locking i_rwsem while having
transactions started as the proper lock ordering used by all directory
handling operations is i_rwsem -> transaction start. Fix the lock
ordering by moving the locking of the directory earlier in
ext4_rename().
