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. (NVD)

Monitor Linux's web page for any future patch releases.
