  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ntfs: fail attrlist updates when the superblock is inactive  generic_shutdown_super() clears SB_ACTIVE before evicting cached inodes. If eviction selects the fake inode for a base inode\u0027s unnamed $ATTRIBUTE_LIST attribute, ntfs_evict_big_inode() drops the fake inode\u0027s reference on the base inode while the fake inode is still hashed and marked I_FREEING.  That iput can synchronously write back the base inode. The writeback path may update mapping pairs and call ntfs_attrlist_update(), which unconditionally calls ntfs_attr_iget() for the same $ATTRIBUTE_LIST fake inode. VFS then finds the I_FREEING inode and waits for eviction to finish, but the current task is still inside that eviction path, causing a self-deadlock in find_inode().  Fix this by mirroring the teardown guard used by __ntfs_write_inode(): once SB_ACTIVE has been cleared, do not try to iget the attribute-list fake inode. Return -EIO so teardown aborts the update instead of waiting on the inode it is evicting.",
