CVE-2026-46052
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: only d_add() negative dentries when they are unhashed
Ceph can call d_add(dentry, NULL) on a negative dentry that is already present in the primary dcache hash.
In the current VFS that is not safe. d_add() goes through __d_add() to __d_rehash(), which unconditionally reinserts dentry->d_hash into the hlist_bl bucket. If the dentry is already hashed, reinserting the same node can corrupt the bucket, including creating a self-loop. Once that happens, __d_lookup() can spin forever in the hlist_bl walk, typically looping only on the d_name.hash mismatch check and eventually triggering RCU stall reports like this one:

This is reachable with reused cached negative dentries. A Ceph lookup or atomic_open can be handed a negative dentry that is already hashed, and fs/ceph/dir.c then hits one of two paths that incorrectly assume "negative" also means "unhashed":
Both paths can therefore re-add an already-hashed negative dentry.
Ceph already uses the correct pattern elsewhere: ceph_fill_trace() only calls d_add(dn, NULL) for a negative null-dentry reply when d_unhashed(dn) is true.
Fix both fs/ceph/dir.c sites the same way: only call d_add() for a negative dentry when it is actually unhashed. If the negative dentry is already hashed, leave it in place and reuse it as-is.
This preserves the existing behavior for unhashed dentries while avoiding d_hash list corruption for reused hashed negatives.
