Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Call invalidate_cache only if implemented
Many filesystems such as NFS and Ceph do not implement the
invalidate_cache method. On those filesystems, if writing to the
cache (NETFS_WRITE_TO_CACHE) fails for some reason, the kernel
crashes like this:
