    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ocfs2: split transactions in dio completion to avoid credit exhaustion

    During ocfs2 dio operations, JBD2 may report warnings via following
    call trace:
    ocfs2_dio_end_io_write
     ocfs2_mark_extent_written
      ocfs2_change_extent_flag
       ocfs2_split_extent
        ocfs2_try_to_merge_extent
         ocfs2_extend_rotate_transaction
          ocfs2_extend_trans
           jbd2__journal_restart
            start_this_handle
             output: JBD2: kworker/6:2 wants too many credits credits:5450 rsv_credits:0 max:5449

    To prevent exceeding the credits limit, modify ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() to
    handle extents in a batch of transaction.

    Additionally, relocate ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan().  The orphan inode
    should only be removed from the orphan list after the extent tree update
    is complete.  This ensures that if a crash occurs in the middle of extent
    tree updates, we won't leave stale blocks beyond EOF.

    This patch also changes the logic for updating the inode size and removing
    orphan, making it similar to ext4_dio_write_end_io().  Both operations are
    performed only when everything looks good.

    Finally, thanks to Jans and Joseph for providing the bug fix prototype and
    suggestions.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
