CVE-2026-89704

/// Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfsd: sample writeback error cursor before async COPY loop

_nfsd_copy_file_range() samples dst->f_wb_err into "since"

after the copy loop, then uses it to detect writeback errors

via filemap_check_wb_err() once vfs_fsync_range() returns.

Because the nfsd_file cache reuses a single struct file

across requests targeting the same inode, a concurrent

COMMIT or stable WRITE on dst advances dst->f_wb_err to the

current mapping->wb_err via file_check_and_advance_wb_err()

during its own vfs_fsync_range(). If that advancement lands

between the writeback error appearing in mapping->wb_err

and the COPY worker sampling "since", the worker captures

the already-advanced cursor, errseq_check() sees cur ==

since and returns zero, and NFSD4_COPY_F_COMMITTED is set

even though writeback failed. CB_OFFLOAD then encodes

wr_stable_how = FILE_SYNC4, the client treats the copied

data as durable, and the failure becomes silent data loss.
