Subject: CVE-2024-27031: NFS: Fix nfs_netfs_issue_read() xarray locking for writeback interrupt

Description
===========

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

NFS: Fix nfs_netfs_issue_read() xarray locking for writeback interrupt

The loop inside nfs_netfs_issue_read() currently does not disable
interrupts while iterating through pages in the xarray to submit
for NFS read.  This is not safe though since after taking xa_lock,
another page in the mapping could be processed for writeback inside
an interrupt, and deadlock can occur.  The fix is simple and clean
if we use xa_for_each_range(), which handles the iteration with RCU
while reducing code complexity.

The problem is easily reproduced with the following test:
 mount -o vers=3,fsc 127.0.0.1:/export /mnt/nfs
 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/nfs/file1.bin bs=4096 count=1
 echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
 dd if=/mnt/nfs/file1.bin of=/dev/null
 umount /mnt/nfs

On the console with a lockdep-enabled kernel a message similar to
the following will be seen:

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
