Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/super: fix emergency thaw double-unlock of s_umount do_thaw_all() iterates over all superblocks via __iterate_supers() with SUPER_ITER_EXCL, which acquires s_umount exclusively before calling the callback and releases it afterwards.

However, the callback do_thaw_all_callback() calls thaw_super_locked() which unconditionally releases s_umount on every code path.
