As reported in the Closes tag URL, the WARN indicates that\na deadlock can happen due to the dependency among disk-\u003eopen_mutex,\nkblockd workqueue completion and partition_scan_work completion.\n\nTo avoid the lockdep WARN and the potential deadlock, cut the dependency\nby running the partition_scan_work not by kblockd workqueue but by\nnvme_wq.","modified":"2026-10-28T02:30:37.015776700Z","published":"2025-12-16T13:57:12.733Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2026:0263-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0278-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0281-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0293-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0315-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0317-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20477-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20498-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20555-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20570-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20599-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20615-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20845-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20876-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:20287-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/68xxx/CVE-2025-68218.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d87cd5335784351280f82c47cc8a657271929c3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/89456dab7ba5ab63d60945440926673a3205e829"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b03eb63288a8ffe3adfb34e68309c8e2edb06d0b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e2a897ad5f538d314955c747a0a2edb184fcdecd"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ef4ab2a8abe554379e10303ae86f7c501336ba0d"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/68xxx/CVE-2025-68218.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-68218"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"60de2e03f984cfbcdc12fa552f95087c35a05a98"},{"fixed":"89456dab7ba5ab63d60945440926673a3205e829"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"4a57f42e5ed42cb8f1beb262c4f6d3e698939e4e"},{"fixed":"e2a897ad5f538d314955c747a0a2edb184fcdecd"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"1f021341eef41e77a633186e9be5223de2ce5d48"},{"fixed":"ef4ab2a8abe554379e10303ae86f7c501336ba0d"},{"fixed":"b03eb63288a8ffe3adfb34e68309c8e2edb06d0b"},{"fixed":"6d87cd5335784351280f82c47cc8a657271929c3"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"6.1.118"},{"fixed":"6.1.159"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"6.6.62"},{"fixed":"6.6.118"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"6.11.9"},{"fixed":"6.12"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"a91b7eddf45afeeb9c5ece11dddff5de0921b00f"}]}],"versions":["v6.1.158","v6.1.157","v6.1.156","v6.1.155","v6.1.154","v6.1.153","v6.1.152","v6.1.151","v6.1.150","v6.1.149","v6.1.148","v6.1.147","v6.1.146","v6.1.145","v6.1.144","v6.1.143","v6.1.142","v6.1.141","v6.1.140","v6.1.139","v6.1.138","v6.1.137","v6.1.136","v6.1.135","v6.1.134","v6.1.133","v6.1.132","v6.1.131","v6.1.130","v6.1.129","v6.1.128","v6.1.127","v6.1.126","v6.1.125","v6.1.124","v6.1.123","v6.1.122","v6.1.121","v6.1.120","v6.1.119","v6.1.118","v6.6.117","v6.6.116","v6.6.115","v6.6.114","v6.6.113","v6.6.112","v6.6.111","v6.6.110","v6.6.109","v6.6.108","v6.6.107","v6.6.106","v6.6.105","v6.6.104","v6.6.103","v6.6.102","v6.6.101","v6.6.100","v6.6.99","v6.6.98","v6.6.97","v6.6.96","v6.6.95","v6.6.94","v6.6.93","v6.6.92","v6.6.91","v6.6.90","v6.6.89","v6.6.88","v6.6.87","v6.6.86","v6.6.85","v6.6.84","v6.6.83","v6.6.82","v6.6.81","v6.6.80","v6.6.79","v6.6.78","v6.6.77","v6.6.76","v6.6.75","v6.6.74","v6.6.73","v6.6.72","v6.6.71","v6.6.70","v6.6.69","v6.6.68","v6.6.67","v6.6.66","v6.6.65","v6.6.64","v6.6.63","v6.6.62","v6.11.11","v6.11.10","v6.11.9"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2025-68218.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.1.159"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.2.0"},{"fixed":"6.6.118"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.7.0"},{"fixed":"6.12.60"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.12.0"},{"fixed":"6.17.10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2025-68218.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
