CVE-2026-90167
What it is
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: serialize oplock close with pending break ownership close may abort an in-flight oplock break while another breaker already holds an opinfo reference. Releasing pending_break wakes that waiter, but without serializing the close transition with bit acquisition it can become a new break owner through the test_and_set_bit() fast path. It can then overwrite OPLOCK_CLOSING with OPLOCK_ACK_WAIT and continue a break for a dying opinfo. Make OPLOCK_CLOSING terminal once the opinfo is removed from the inode list. Serialize that transition, pending_break acquisition, and OPLOCK_ACK_WAIT setup with an opinfo state lock. A breaker which loses the race releases its ownership and returns -ENOENT. Explicitly wake pending_break waiters during close so they can observe the terminal state. Also prevent ACK and timeout paths from replacing OPLOCK_CLOSING with OPLOCK_STATE_NONE.
