A mapping represents a\ncompeting cached user, so retain the folio instead of forcibly unmapping\nit when writeback completes.\n\nFor a mapped folio, folio_unmap_invalidate() can call\nunmap_mapping_folio(), which takes i_mmap_rwsem and may sleep.  Retaining\nmapped folios avoids this path when folio_end_dropbehind() runs in\nnon-preemptible task context.\n\nTal was able to trigger a sleeping-in-atomic warning due to this [1].\n\nUnmapped dropbehind folios continue through the existing invalidation path.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2897601dffe576fcd87a4259102f41f7fb0cbfc8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/77c0fade37c80e8aa16ac048a9828249055e3f66","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/848d2ce2fce15fbdc083fbf9691bfa72911033c4"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:57:46.668721662+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-98223","score":0.00166,"percentile":0.05799,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
