  - f2fs: fix to trigger foreground gc during f2fs_map_blocks() in lfs mode w/ mode=lfs mount option,     generic/299 will cause system panic as below: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at     fs/f2fs/segment.c:2835!

    0010:new_curseg+0x70f/0x720 The root cause of we run out-of-space is: in f2fs_map_blocks(), f2fs may     trigger foreground gc only if it allocates any physical block, it will be a little bit later when there is     multiple threads writing data w/ aio/dio/bufio method in parallel, since we always use OPU in lfs mode, so     f2fs_map_blocks() does block allocations aggressively. In order to fix this issue, let's give a chance to     trigger foreground gc in prior to block allocation in f2fs_map_blocks(). (CVE-2025-38626)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
