Revision 9dfb3b8d655022760ca68af11821f1c63aa547c3 authored by Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) on 30 July 2022, 04:25:18 UTC, committed by Andrew Morton on 28 August 2022, 21:02:43 UTC
If we allocate a new page, we need to make sure that our folio matches
that new page.

If we do end up in this code path, we store the wrong page in the shmem
inode's page cache, and I would rather imagine that data corruption
ensues.

This will be solved by changing shmem_replace_page() to
shmem_replace_folio(), but this is the minimal fix.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
