CVE-2025-38276: fs/dax: Fix "don't skip locked entries when scanning entries"
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs/dax: Fix "don't skip locked entries when scanning entries"

Commit 6be3e21d25ca ("fs/dax: don't skip locked entries when scanning
entries") introduced a new function, wait_entry_unlocked_exclusive(),
which waits for the current entry to become unlocked without advancing
the XArray iterator state.

Waiting for the entry to become unlocked requires dropping the XArray
lock. This requires calling xas_pause() prior to dropping the lock
which leaves the xas in a suitable state for the next iteration. However
this has the side-effect of advancing the xas state to the next index.
Normally this isn't an issue because xas_for_each() contains code to
detect this state and thus avoid advancing the index a second time on
the next loop iteration.

However both callers of and wait_entry_unlocked_exclusive() itself
subsequently use the xas state to reload the entry. As xas_pause()
updated the state to the next index this will cause the current entry
which is being waited on to be skipped. This caused the following
warning to fire intermittently when running xftest generic/068 on an XFS
filesystem with FS DAX enabled:
