Para superbloques con esta bandera establecida, la sincronizaci\u00f3n inicia el writeback de inodos sucios pero no espera a que los hilos de vaciado completen el writeback.\n\nEsto reemplaza la bandera de mapeo AS_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY por inodo a\u00f1adida en el commit f9a49aa302a0 (\u2019fs/writeback: omitir mapeos AS_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY en wait_sb_inodes()\u2019). La bandera pertenece al nivel del superbloque porque la integridad de los datos es una propiedad de todo el sistema de archivos, no una por inodo. Tener esta bandera a nivel de superbloque tambi\u00e9n nos permite evitar tener que iterar cada inodo sucio en wait_sb_inodes() solo para omitir cada inodo individualmente.\n\nAntes de este commit, los mapeos sin garant\u00edas de integridad de datos omit\u00edan esperar la finalizaci\u00f3n del writeback pero a\u00fan esperaban a que los hilos de vaciado terminaran de iniciar el writeback. Esperar a los hilos de vaciado es innecesario. Este commit inicia el writeback pero no espera a los hilos de vaciado. Este cambio aborda correctamente un informe reciente [1] por un cuelgue de suspensi\u00f3n a RAM visto en fuse-overlayfs que fue causado por esperar a que los hilos de vaciado terminaran:\n\nWorkqueue: pm_fs_sync pm_fs_sync_work_fn\nRastro de Llamada:\n [TAREA]\n __schedule+0x457/0x 1720\n schedule+0x27/0xd0\n wb_wait_for_completion+0x97/0xe0\n sync_inodes_sb+0xf8/0x2e0\n __iterate_supers+0xdc/0x160\n ksys_sync+0x43/0xb0\n pm_fs_sync_work_fn+0x17/0xa0\n process_one_work+0x193/0x350\n worker_thread+0x1a1/0x310\n kthread+0xfc/0x240\n ret_from_fork+0x243/0x280\n ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n [/TAREA]\n\nEn fuse esto es problem\u00e1tico porque hay rutas que pueden causar que el hilo de vaciado se bloquee (por ejemplo, si systemd congela primero los cgroups de la sesi\u00f3n de usuario, lo que congela el demonio fuse, antes de invocar la suspensi\u00f3n del kernel. La suspensi\u00f3n del kernel activa -> write_node() que en fuse emite una solicitud setattr s\u00edncrona, que no puede procesarse ya que el demonio est\u00e1 congelado. O si el demonio tiene errores y no puede completar correctamente el writeback, iniciar el writeback en un folio sucio que ya est\u00e1 en writeback lleva a writeback_get_folio() -> folio_prepare_writeback() -> espera incondicional a que el writeback termine, lo que causar\u00e1 un cuelgue). Este commit restaura fuse a su comportamiento anterior antes de que se eliminaran los folios temporales, donde la sincronizaci\u00f3n era esencialmente una operaci\u00f3n nula.\n\n[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/CAJnrk1a-asuvfrbKXbEwwDSctvemF+6zfhdnuzO65Pt8HsFSRw@mail.gmail.com/T/#m632c4648e9cafc4239299887109ebd880ac6c5c1"}], "id": "CVE-2026-31465", "lastModified": "2026-11-11T23:10:00.263", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 5.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}, "published": "2026-04-22T14:16:42.633", "references": [{"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5c24a13d8a0466ca0446e58309e51f2606520164"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/76f9377cd2ab7a9220c25d33940d9ca20d368172"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/83800f8ef358ea2fc9b1ae4986b83f2bc24be927"}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "vulnStatus": "Analyzed", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "NVD-CWE-noinfo"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}
