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

ext4: fix bug_on in ext4_writepages

It may happen as follows: 1. write inline_data inode vfs_write new_sync_write ext4_file_write_iter ext4_buffered_write_iter generic_perform_write ext4_da_write_begin ext4_da_write_inline_data_begin -> If inline data size too small will allocate block to write, then mapping will has dirty page ext4_da_convert_inline_data_to_extent ->clear EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA 2. fallocate do_vfs_ioctl ioctl_preallocate vfs_fallocate ext4_fallocate ext4_convert_inline_data ext4_convert_inline_data_nolock ext4_map_blocks -> fail will goto restore data ext4_restore_inline_data ext4_create_inline_data ext4_write_inline_data ext4_set_inode_state -> set inode EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA 3. writepages __ext4_ioctl ext4_alloc_da_blocks filemap_flush filemap_fdatawrite_wbc do_writepages ext4_writepages if (ext4_has_inline_data(inode)) BUG_ON(ext4_test_inode_state(inode, EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA))

The root cause of this issue is we destory inline data until call ext4_writepages under delay allocation mode. But there maybe already convert from inline to extent. To solve this issue, we call filemap_flush first..
