The issue is related to the iomap write delalloc scan() function in the Linux kernel, which can lead to an infinite loop due to numerical truncation when writing to an xfs filesystem on 32-bit kernels. This occurs because folio next index() returns an unsigned long, causing iomap write delalloc scan() to inadvertently use a 32-bit position. The estimated number of potentially affected devices is not specified. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.
