    Action Type Old Value New Value
    Added Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    block: integrity: Do not call set_page_dirty_lock()

    Placing multiple protection information buffers inside the same page
    can lead to oopses because set_page_dirty_lock() can’t be called from
    interrupt context.

    Since a protection information buffer is not backed by a file there is
    no point in setting its page dirty, there is nothing to synchronize.
    Drop the call to set_page_dirty_lock() and remove the last argument to
    bio_integrity_unpin_bvec().
