What is CVE-2025-21817?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel occurs when the sysfs store method is executed while a queue is frozen, leading to memory allocation calls using GFP_KERNEL. This situation can invoke direct reclaim logic and potentially cause a deadlock in the system. The issue has been addressed by appropriately marking the sysfs store method with GFP_NOIO to prevent this scenario. It's crucial for users and system administrators to ensure they are using patched versions to maintain system stability.
