CVE-2025-68261
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: add i_data_sem protection in ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock()
Fix a race between inline data destruction and block mapping.
The function ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock() changes the inode data layout by clearing EXT4_INODE_INLINE_DATA and setting EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS. At the same time, another thread may execute ext4_map_blocks(), which tests EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS to decide whether to call ext4_ext_map_blocks() or ext4_ind_map_blocks().
Without i_data_sem protection, ext4_ind_map_blocks() may receive inode with EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS flag and triggering assert.
