From: Baokun Li <libaokun@linux.alibaba.com> stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.145 commit df9757a9f521390931b5c01fad4730f3437065c3 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://atomgit.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/16673 CVE: CVE-2026-64378 Reference: https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/... -------------------------------- commit e90a6d668e26e00a72df2d09c173b563468f09c9 upstream. Commit e1b849cfa6b6 ("writeback: Avoid contention on wb->list_lock when switching inodes") replaced the queue_rcu_work() based scheduling of inode wb switches with a plain queue_work(). Since then no switcher goes through call_rcu(), so rcu_barrier() in cgroup_writeback_umount() has no callbacks of its own to wait for. It still drains unrelated call_rcu() callbacks from other subsystems on busy systems, which incidentally slows umount down; drop it.
