As soon as the mutex\nis unlocked, another thread can free the BO.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel related to improper synchronization in a filesystem allocation path. Under certain conditions, concurrent operations may access and modify shared kernel data structures without adequate locking. This race condition can result in inconsistent internal state, triggering kernel warnings, memory corruption, or a system crash." ],
