This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ubifs: Set page uptodate in the correct place to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ubifs-set-page-uptodate-in-the-correct-place.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ff84b88b9a0fe23cbade3cd32ed471d62eb8cd22 Author: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 24 17:52:44 2024 +0000 ubifs: Set page uptodate in the correct place [ Upstream commit 723012cab779eee8228376754e22c6594229bf8f ] Page cache reads are lockless, so setting the freshly allocated page uptodate before we've overwritten it with the data it's supposed to have in it will allow a simultaneous reader to see old data. Move the call to SetPageUptodate into ubifs_write_end(), which is after we copied the new data into the page.
