CVE-2026-68150 — fs/super: fix emergency thaw double-unlock of s_umount

Affected: Linux

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

fs/super: fix emergency thaw double-unlock of s_umount

do_thaw_all() iterates over all superblocks via __iterate_supers() with SUPER_ITER_EXCL, which acquires s_umount exclusively before calling the callback and releases it afterwards. However, the callback do_thaw_all_callback() calls thaw_super_locked() which unconditionally releases s_umount on every code path. This results in a second unlock attempt in __iterate_supers() that corrupts the rwsem state, triggering a DEBUG_RWSEMS warning:
