Subject: CVE-2024-50116: nilfs2: fix kernel bug due to missing clearing of buffer delay flag
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix kernel bug due to missing clearing of buffer delay flag
Syzbot reported that after nilfs2 reads a corrupted file system image
and degrades to read-only, the BUG_ON check for the buffer delay flag
in submit_bh_wbc() may fail, causing a kernel bug.
This is because the buffer delay flag is not cleared when clearing the
buffer state flags to discard a page/folio or a buffer head. So, fix
this.
This became necessary when the use of nilfs2's own page clear routine
was expanded. This state inconsistency does not occur if the buffer
is written normally by log writing.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-50116 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
