CVE-2025-39731 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: vm_unmap_ram() may be called from an invalid context When testing F2FS with xfstests using UFS backed virtual disks the kernel complains sometimes that f2fs_release_decomp_mem() calls vm_unmap_ram() from an invalid context. Example trace from f2fs/007 test: f2fs/007 5s ...

This ensures that pages are unmapped asynchronously in an interrupt handler.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) has been addressed. The issue arose when F2FS was tested with xfstests using UFS-backed virtual disks. During these tests, the kernel occasionally reported that the function f2fs_release_decomp_mem() was calling vm_unmap_ram() from an invalid context. This was identified as a problem because it involved a sleeping function being executed while interrupts were disabled, which can lead to improper handling of asynchronous operations. The vulnerability was traced back to a commit that changed how F2FS handles decompression, and it was resolved by modifying the context check to ensure that the unmapping of memory pages could be done safely, without disrupting interrupt handling.
Users can update to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been fixed. The specific commit that addresses this issue is available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
