CVE-2026-89710: NFSv4.1: fix layout segment leak on the pnfs_layout_process() forget path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4.1: fix layout segment leak on the pnfs_layout_process() forget path
When the server returns a new layout stateid while a valid one is still
held, pnfs_layout_process() calls pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() on
the on-stack free_me list and jumps to out_forget. Segments whose
reference count drops to zero are unlinked from lo->plh_segs and moved
to free_me by mark_lseg_invalid(); for an idle cached segment the layout
header holds the only reference, so this happens on the first decrement.
out_forget never drains free_me -- only the success path calls
pnfs_free_lseg_list().
Commit 814b84971388 ("pNFS/NFSv4: Fix a layout segment leak in
pnfs_layout_process()") added the drain; commit 08bd8dbe8882
("pNFS/NFSv4: Try to return invalid layout in pnfs_layout_process()")
removed it while switching the destination to lo->plh_return_segs, which
is drained elsewhere. Commit fb700ef02676 ("NFSv4.1: Simplify layout
return in pnfs_layout_process()") switched the destination back to
free_me without restoring the drain.
Restore the pnfs_free_lseg_list() call.
