DEBIAN-CVE-2026-80866

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tipc: avoid busy looping in tipc_exit_net() Blamed commit introduced a busy-wait loop in tipc_exit_net() to wait for pending UDP bearer cleanup works to complete: while (atomic_read(&tn->wq_count)) cond_resched(); This loop can busy-wait for a long time if cond_resched() is a NOP. This typically happens if the netns exit is executed by a high priority task, or under kernels configured without preemption (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE). In such cases, it wastes CPU cycles and can lead to soft lockups. Fix this by replacing the busy loop with wait_var_event(), allowing the thread to sleep properly until the work queue count reaches zero. Accordingly, update cleanup_bearer() to use atomic_dec_and_test() and wake_up_var() to wake up the waiter when the count drops to zero. This uses the global wait queue hash table, avoiding the need to bloat struct tipc_net with a wait_queue_head_t. The atomic_dec_and_test() provides the necessary memory barrier to ensure the wakeup is not missed.
