CVE-2026-72375NVD

Vulnerability Summary

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

afs: Fix reinitialisation of the inode, in particular ->lock_work

It seems that initalising afs_vnode::lock_work a single time in the slab's
init function isn't sufficient for work_structs. This results in the
DEBUG_OBJECTS debugging stuff producing a warning occasionally when running
the generic/131 xfstest:

ODEBUG: activate not available (active state 0) object: 0000000016d8760f object type: work_struct hint: afs_lock_work+0x0/0x220

Fix this by reinitialising ->lock_work after allocating an inode.

Also, flush ->lock_work when the inode is being evicted to make sure it's
not still running.
