[$] FUSE folio conversion confusion
Tuesday February 18, 2025. 03:44 PM , from LWN.net
Kernel developers have been working to convert various internal interfaces to
use folios; while this process has been progressing, there is still the occasional regression introduced by the change. In December 2024, it was discovered that installing a Flatpak application could trigger a filesystem bug in the kernel that would cause the software to read incorrect data from the disk. The problem was quickly fixed — only for an another problem caused by the folio rewrite to pop up in the same kernel subsystem. This was discovered by an Arch Linux user, who noticed that selecting files in a Flatpak application was causing kernel crashes. Now both bugs are fixed, but there may be more bugs to find.
