the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnilfs2: do not force clear folio if buffer is referenced\n\nPatch series \"nilfs2: protect busy buffer heads from being force-cleared\".\n\nThis series fixes the buffer head state inconsistency issues reported by\nsyzbot that occurs when the filesystem is corrupted and falls back to\nread-only, and the associated buffer head use-after-free issue.\n\n\nThis patch (of 2):\n\nSyzbot has reported that after nilfs2 detects filesystem corruption and\nfalls back to read-only, inconsistencies in the buffer state may occur.\n\nOne of the inconsistencies is that when nilfs2 calls mark_buffer_dirty()\nto set a data or metadata buffer as dirty, but it detects that the buffer\nis not in the uptodate state:\n\n
