CVE-2025-22120

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

ext4: goto right label out_mmap_sem in ext4_setattr()

Otherwise, if ext4_inode_attach_jinode() fails, a hung task will happen because filemap_invalidate_unlock() isnt called to unlock mapping->invalidate_lock. Like this:

EXT4-fs error (device sda) in ext4_setattr:5557: Out of memory INFO: task fsstress:374 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
