{"id":"CVE-2025-68218","summary":"nvme-multipath: fix lockdep WARN due to partition scan work","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnvme-multipath: fix lockdep WARN due to partition scan work\n\nBlktests test cases nvme/014, 057 and 058 fail occasionally due to a\nlockdep WARN. 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":"2026-03-13T04:04:02.498237Z","published":"2025-12-16T13:57:12.733Z","related":["MGASA-2026-0017","MGASA-2026-0018","SUSE-SU-2026:0263-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/68xxx/CVE-2025-68218.json"},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"},{"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"}],"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":"0"},{"last_affected":"a91b7eddf45afeeb9c5ece11dddff5de0921b00f"}]}],"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":"1.7.5"}
