Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
fs/writeback: skip AS_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY mappings in wait_sb_inodes()<br />
<br />
Above the while() loop in wait_sb_inodes(), we document that we must wait<br />
for all pages under writeback for data integrity. Consequently, if a<br />
mapping, like fuse, traditionally does not have data integrity semantics,<br />
there is no need to wait at all; we can simply skip these inodes.<br />
<br />
This restores fuse back to prior behavior where syncs are no-ops. This<br />
fixes a user regression where if a system is running a faulty fuse server<br />
that does not reply to issued write requests, this causes wait_sb_inodes()<br />
to wait forever.
