Frequently Asked Questions
1
Which systems are most likely to encounter this issue?
Systems using the GFS2 filesystem with PREEMPT_RT are the relevant environment. The problematic path is quota initialization while checking for duplicate quota_change IDs.
2
What symptom indicates that the vulnerable path has been triggered?
On PREEMPT_RT, the kernel may report "sleeping function called from invalid context." This occurs because a lockref reference acquisition can sleep while a quota hash bucket bitlock is held.
3
What change resolves the issue?
The fix uses a bucket lookup that does not acquire a lockref in the locked duplicate-check path. The referenced stable kernel commits contain the remediation.
