Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lib/iov_iter: fix to increase non slab folio refcount
When testing EROFS file-backed mount over v9fs on qemu, I encountered a
folio UAF issue. The page sanity check reports the following call trace.
The root cause is that pages in bvec are coalesced across a folio bounary.
The refcount of all non-slab folios should be increased to ensure
p9_releas_pages can put them correctly.
BUG: Bad page state in process md5sum pfn:18300
