If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 360e257e52eb050b6f78c12bbef02ff0cc89a7ea Author: Yuezhang Mo <Yuezhang.Mo@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 12 16:29:23 2024 +0800 exfat: fix the new buffer was not zeroed before writing [ Upstream commit 98e2fb26d1a9eafe79f46d15d54e68e014d81d8c ] Before writing, if a buffer_head marked as new, its data must be zeroed, otherwise uninitialized data in the page cache will be written. So this commit uses folio_zero_new_buffers() to zero the new buffers before ->write_end().
