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

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

fuse-uring: fix data races on ring->ready

On weakly-ordered architectures, the store to fiq->ops can be
reordered past the store to ring->ready, allowing a CPU that sees
ring->ready == true via fuse_uring_ready() to dispatch requests
through a stale fiq->ops pointer. Upgrade the store to
smp_store_release() and the load in fuse_uring_ready() to
smp_load_acquire() so that the preceding WRITE_ONCE(fiq->ops, ...)
is visible to any CPU that observes ring->ready == true.

Additionally, fuse_uring_do_register() publishes ring->ready with
WRITE_ONCE() but the fast-path check reads it with a plain load.
This is a marked-vs-unmarked access that KCSAN will flag. Wrap it in
READ_ONCE() to mark it without adding unnecessary ordering.

Also wrap the fc->ring load in fuse_uring_ready() in READ_ONCE() to
prevent the compiler from reloading it between the NULL check and the
dereference.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64588 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:
