Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/migrate_device: fix spinlock leak in migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page

When check_stable_address_space() fails after the PMD spinlock has
been acquired via pmd_lock(), the code jumps directly to the abort
label, bypassing the spin_unlock() call in unlock_abort. This causes
the PMD spinlock to be permanently held, leading to a deadlock.

Change the goto target from abort to unlock_abort to ensure the
spinlock is always released on this error path.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64129 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
