In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix kernel bug due to missing clearing of checked flag
Syzbot reported that in directory operations after nilfs2 detects
filesystem corruption and degrades to read-only,
__block_write_begin_int(), which is called to prepare block writes, may
fail the BUG_ON check for accesses exceeding the folio/page size,
triggering a kernel bug.
This was found to be because the "checked" flag of a page/folio was not
cleared when it was discarded by nilfs2's own routine, which causes the
sanity check of directory entries to be skipped when the directory
page/folio is reloaded.  So, fix that.
This was necessary when the use of nilfs2's own page discard routine was
applied to more than just metadata files.
