Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> mm/huge_memory: drop beyond-EOF folios with the right number of refs<br /> <br /> When an after-split folio is large and needs to be dropped due to EOF,<br /> folio_put_refs(folio, folio_nr_pages(folio)) should be used to drop all<br /> page cache refs. Otherwise, the folio will not be freed, causing memory<br /> leak.<br /> <br /> This leak would happen on a filesystem with blocksize &gt; page_size and a<br /> truncate is performed, where the blocksize makes folios split to &gt;0 order<br /> ones, causing truncated folios not being freed.
