Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 06:18:00 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfs: Fix writethrough to use collection offload

Fix writethrough write to set NETFS_RREQ_OFFLOAD_COLLECTION on the request
so that collection is processed asynchronously rather than only right at
the end - and also so that asynchronous O_SYNC writes get collected at all.
