CVE-2026-89771

High

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ring-buffer: Fix subbuf resize race with ring buffer readers trace_buffer subbuf_size is read lockless in ring_buffer_read_page() and ring_buffer_read_start(), while it can simultaneously be resized with ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set(). Instead of trace_buffer::subbuf_size, use bpage::order in ring_buffer_read_start() and ring_buffer_read_page(). In ring_buffer_read_start(), even with resize_disabled, there is still a possibility of a race with a buffer modification. Hold the trace_buffer mutex to synchronise with any pending ring buffer order modification. trace_buffer::subbuf_size is now actually useless, remove it. Also, create accessors rb_subbuf_capacity() and rb_page_capacity() which return the actual size available for storing events, while rb_subbuf_size() returns the actual subbuf page-size.
