Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: vm_unmap_ram() may be called from an invalid context When testing F2FS with xfstests using UFS backed virtual disks the kernel complains sometimes that f2fs_release_decomp_mem() calls vm_unmap_ram() from an invalid context. Example trace from f2fs/007 test: f2fs/007 5s ...

This ensures that pages are unmapped asynchronously in an interrupt handler.
