CVE-2026-98920

The Linux kernel contains a vulnerability where direct mempool allocations for folio_queues skipped the alloc_hooks() wrapper. This caused missing alloc tagging when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=y is enabled, resulting in kernel warnings during file reads on a CIFS mount and missing data in /...
