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