About this tag
CVE-2025-68356 is a Linux kernel vulnerability affecting the GFS2 (Global File System 2) clustered filesystem. The issue involves recursive memory reclaim triggered by page-cache allocations within filesystem transaction paths, which can lead to deadlock and stack exhaustion. A targeted kernel fix prevents this by adjusting allocation flags. This tag covers discussions about the vulnerability, its impact on GFS2, and the corresponding patch. It is relevant for Linux system administrators, kernel developers, and enterprise IT professionals managing clustered storage environments where GFS2 is deployed.
