Public bug reported:
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2122719
[Impact]
A memory leak which was introduced in the smb.ko module by commit
f3dc1bdb6b0b ("cifs: Fix writeback data corruption") is causing hangups
on VMs due to memory starvation. This introduces a high risk of data
corruption for users running the 6.8 Azure kernel.
[Fix]
Backport the fix:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-
cifs/[email protected]/
to the n:azure tree.
[Test plan]
Build tested only; Microsoft will validate the bug fix.
[Where problems could occur]
Issues with this patch could cause hangs/lockups during CIFS writeback
operations, particularly in systems with a high CPU count.
