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

fuse: fix runtime warning on truncatefoliobatchexceptionals()

The WARNONONCE is introduced on truncatefoliobatchexceptionals() 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:
