Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
cachestat: do not flush stats in recency check<br />
<br />
syzbot detects that cachestat() is flushing stats, which can sleep, in its<br />
RCU read section (see [1]). This is done in the workingset_test_recent()<br />
step (which checks if the folio&#39;s eviction is recent).<br />
<br />
Move the stat flushing step to before the RCU read section of cachestat,<br />
and skip stat flushing during the recency check.<br />
