Severity ?
7.5 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: put folios not suitable for writeback The batch holds references to the folios (see `filemap_get_folios`, `folio_batch_release`), so we need to `folio_put` the folios we remove. Tested on v6.18.
