| Doc Text: |
A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's shmem/swap handling during truncate operations. The swap entry order is retrieved without proper lock protection, allowing it to become stale before the subsequent xa_cmpxchg_irq operation. This can cause truncation to erase data beyond the intended end border or lead to swapoff hangs and kernel panics.
