MEDIUMDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: split initial and dynamic conditions for extent_cache Let's allocate the extent_cache tree without dynamic conditions to avoid a missing condition causing a panic as below. # create a file w/ a compressed flag # disable the compression # panic while updating extent_cache F2FS-fs (dm-64): Swapfile: last extent is not aligned to section F2FS-fs (dm-64): Swapfile (3) is not align to section: 1) creat(), 2) ioctl(F2FS_IOC_SET_PIN_FILE), 3) fallocate(2097152 * N) Adding 124996k swap on ./swap-file.
