CVE-2026-89547
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: SUNRPC: Check svc pool percpu counter allocation __svc_create() initializes three per-pool percpu_counter stats and ignores every return value. On SMP, percpu_counter_init() fails when __alloc_percpu_gfp() cannot satisfy the allocation, leaving the failed counter with fbc->counters == NULL and its embedded raw_spinlock_t, list_head, and count never initialized. __svc_create() returns the half-constructed svc_serv to nfsd, lockd, or the NFS callback service anyway. Once that service is live, the hot-path increments in svc_xprt_enqueue(), svc_handle_xprt(), and svc_pool_wake_idle_thread() reach a counter whose backing pointer is NULL. The pointer is a per-cpu offset, so the access does not fault: it resolves to offset zero of the current CPU's per-cpu area and silently corrupts whatever variable lives there. A /proc/fs/nfsd/pool_stats read walks the same NULL per-cpu storage and returns garbage, and on CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK or lockdep it splats on the never-initialized lock. Creating the broken service requires a percpu allocation failure during RPC server startup, so it is reachable only by a local administrator under memory pressure or fault injection; a remote peer cannot induce the bad state on its own. Check each percpu_counter_init() return value in __svc_create() and fail when an allocation fails, unwinding the counters already set up in the current pool and in every pool initialized before it. A discrete percpu_counter_destroy() per counter at teardown frees each per-cpu allocation exactly once.
