A patch is available and should be applied to update the Linux kernel to a fixed version. The vendor advisory confirms that this issue has been resolved in updated kernel releases. Users should upgrade to the fixed kernel versions to eliminate the spurious warnings.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel memory management subsystem caused spurious warnings during unmapping of device-private or exclusive pages. The issue arose from incorrect assumptions about anonymous folios and VMAs, leading to warnings during process teardown. This flaw does not impact confidentiality or integrity but can cause availability issues due to kernel warnings. The vulnerability has been fixed in updated Linux kernel versions.
