Original description The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "f2fs: remove non-uptodate folio from the page cache in move_data_block"
This reverts commit 9609dd704725a40cd63d915f2ab6c44248a44598.
The kernel panics are keeping to be reported especially when the f2fs
partition get almost full. By investigation, we find that the reason is
one f2fs page got freed to buddy without being deleted from LRU and the
root cause is the race happened in [2] which is enrolled by this commit.
There are 3 race processes in this scenario, please find below for their
main activities.
The changed code in move_data_block() lets the GC path evict the tail-end
folio from the page cache through folio_end_dropbehind(). Once
folio_unmap_invalidate() removes the folio from mapping->i_pages, the
page-cache references for all pages in the folio are dropped. The folio
is then kept alive only by temporary external references, which allows a
later split to operate on a folio whose subpages are no longer protected
by page-cache references.
After the page-cache references are gone, split_folio_to_order() can
split the big folio into individual pages and put the resulting subpages
back on the LRU. For tail pages beyond EOF, split removes them from the
page cache and drops their page-cache references. A tail page can then
remain on the LRU with PG_lru set while holding only the split caller's
temporary reference. When free_folio_and_swap_cache() drops that final
reference, the page ent…
