A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfs subsystem, specifically when using the deprecated PG_private_2 method (as used by Ceph), allowed improper handling of cache copy requests when caching is temporarily disabled (e.g., due to a DIO write). If netfs_advance_write() encountered a disabled cache stream, it would prematurely bail out, failing to properly cancel the request and clean up associated folios, leaving PG_private_2 set. This could result in resource leaks and potentially hang the system, as observed during xfstests with Ceph and active cache.
