In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix folio_nr_pages() race after put in large folio invalidate

Our v6.18 based Android system is continuely suffering livelock and bad

page stat as shown in[1] which related to broken xarray slot status. By

investigating big folio operations within f2fs, we find below races and

fix it by get the nr_pages before drop the refcount and folio_lock.

f2fs_get_read_data_folio() calls f2fs_folio_put() before

folio_nr_pages() when invalidating a large folio from the page cache.

That unlocks the folio and drops the caller reference, leaving a window

where a concurrent truncate or folio split can shrink the compound folio

or free it before the invalidate range is computed. An undersized range

then leaves split sub-folios in mapping->i_pages, which can later

interact badly with truncate and reclaim (stale xarray entries and bad

page state when folio->mapping no longer matches the mapping being

truncated).
