Summary

In the Linux kernel, the ext4 filesystem has a bug in the wait/wake bit mapping for fast commit on 64-bit architectures. The wait and wake functions used raw EXT4_STATE_* values instead of the appropriate +32 offset, causing incorrect synchronization.

Risk Assessment

The bug may lead to deadlocks or incorrect fast commit behavior, potentially resulting in data loss or filesystem inconsistency.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that adds helper functions for state mapping and uses them in the wait and wake paths. Update the system to a kernel version with the fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix fast commit wait/wake bit mapping on 64-bit On 64-bit, ext4 dynamic inode states live in the upper half of i_flags, and ext4_test_inode_state() applies the corresponding +32 offset. The fast-commit wait and wake paths open-coded the wait key with the raw EXT4_STATE_* value. Add small helpers for the state wait word and bit, and use them for the FC_COMMITTING and FC_FLUSHING_DATA waits so the wait key follows the same mapping as the state helpers.
