CVE-2026-43188

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

ceph: do not propagate page array emplacement errors as batch errors

When fscrypt is enabled, move_dirty_folio_in_page_array() may fail
because it needs to allocate bounce buffers to store the encrypted
versions of each folio. Each folio beyond the first allocates its bounce
buffer with GFP_NOWAIT. Failures are common (and expected) under this
allocation mode; they should flush (not abort) the batch.

However, ceph_process_folio_batch() uses the same `rc` variable for its
own return code and for capturing the return codes of its routine calls;
failing to reset `rc` back to 0 results in the error being propagated
out to the main writeback loop, which cannot actually tolerate any
errors here: once `ceph_wbc.pages` is allocated, it must be passed to
ceph_submit_write() to be freed. If it survives until the next iteration
(e.g. due to the goto being followed), ceph_allocate_page_array()'s
BUG_ON() will oops the worker.

Note that this failure mode is currently masked due to another bug
(addressed next in this series) that prevents multiple encrypted folios
from being selected for the same write.

For now, just reset `rc` when redirtying the folio to prevent errors in
move_dirty_folio_in_page_array() from propagating. Note that
move_dirty_folio_in_page_array() is careful never to return errors on
the first folio, so there is no need to check for that. After this
change, ceph_process_folio_batch() no longer returns errors; its only
remaining failure indicator is `locked_pages == 0`, which the caller
already handles correctly.
