Technical description

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

fuse: fix runtime warning on truncate_folio_batch_exceptionals()

The WARN_ON_ONCE is introduced on truncate_folio_batch_exceptionals() to

capture whether the filesystem has removed all DAX entries or not.

And the fix has been applied on the filesystem xfs and ext4 by the commit

0e2f80afcfa6 ("fs/dax: ensure all pages are idle prior to filesystem

unmount").

Apply the missed fix on filesystem fuse to fix the runtime warning:
