CVE-2026-80697
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: ensure valid f_path for page cache sharing
Previously, backing files for page cache sharing were set up with f_path left as NULL (only f_inode was valid). It worked, but a recent mincore fix relies on f_path.mnt and crashes (found by "erofs/028" on 7.2-rc4):
Specify valid paths using valid disconnected dentries together with erofs_ishare_mnt instead of leaving f_path empty, so they are more like real backing files in a pseudo filesystem and standard backing_file_open() can be used directly.
