In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: silence the warning when evicting inode with dioread_nolock
When evicting an inode with default dioreadnolock, it could be raced by the unwritten extents converting kworker after writeback some new allocated dirty blocks. It convert unwritten extents to written, the extents could be merged to upper level and free extent blocks, so it could mark the inode dirty again even this inode has been marked IFREEING. But the inode->iiolist check and warning in ext4evictinode() missing this corner case. Fortunately, ext4evictinode() will wait all extents converting finished before this check, so it will not lead to inode use-after-free problem, every thing is OK besides this warning. The WARNONONCE was originally designed for finding inode use-after-free issues in advance, but if we add current dioread_nolock case in, it will become not quite useful, so fix this warning by just remove this check.
