In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: avoid reading already updated pages during GC
We found the following issue during fuzz testing:

This case is consistent with the description in commit 9bf1a3f
("f2fs: avoid GC causing encrypted file corrupted"):
Page 1 is moved from blkaddr A to blkaddr B by move_data_block, and after
being written it is marked as uptodate. Then, Page 1 is moved from blkaddr
B to blkaddr C, VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO was triggered in the endio initiated by
ra_data_block.
There is no need to read Page 1 again from blkaddr B, since it has already
been updated. Therefore, avoid initiating I/O in this case.
