Summary
fuse: write inode in fuse_release()
Details

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

fuse: write inode in fuse_release()

A race between write(2) and close(2) allows pages to be dirtied after fuseflush -> writeinodenow(). If these pages are not flushed from fuserelease(), then there might not be a writable open file later. So any remaining dirty pages must be written back before the file is released.

This is a partial revert of the blamed commit.
