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

mm, thp: bail out early in collapse_file for writeback page

Currently collapsefile does not explicitly check PGwriteback, instead, pagehasprivate and trytorelease_page are used to filter writeback pages. This does not work for xfs with blocksize equal to or larger than pagesize, because in such case xfs has no page->private.

This makes collapsefile bail out early for writeback page. Otherwise, xfs endpage_writeback will panic as follows.
