CVE-2025-38411

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:netfs: Fix double put of requestIf a netfs request finishes during the pause loop, it will have the refthat belongs to the IN_PROGRESS flag removed at that point - however, if itthen goes to the final wait loop, that will *also* put the ref because itsees that the IN_PROGRESS flag is clear and incorrectly assumes that thishappened when it called the collector.In fact, since IN_PROGRESS is clear, we shouldnt call the collector againsince its done all the cleanup, such as calling ->ki_complete().Fix this by making netfs_collect_in_app() just return, indicating thatwere done if IN_PROGRESS is removed.
