In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: compress: fix to call f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback() in f2fs_write_raw_pages()
BUG_ON() will be triggered when writing files concurrently,
because the same page is writtenback multiple times.
1597 void folio_end_writeback(struct folio *folio)
1598 {
......
1618 if (!__folio_end_writeback(folio))
1619 BUG();
......
1625 }
kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:1619!

Below is the concurrency scenario:
[Process A] [Process B] [Process C]
f2fs_write_raw_pages()
- redirty_page_for_writepage()
- unlock page()
f2fs_do_write_data_page()
- lock_page()
- clear_page_dirty_for_io()
- set_page_writeback() [1st writeback]
.....
- unlock page()
generic_perform_write()
- f2fs_write_begin()
- wait_for_stable_page()
- f2fs_write_end()
- set_page_dirty()
- lock_page()
- f2fs_do_write_data_page()
- set_page_writeback() [2st writeback]
This problem was introduced by the previous commit 7377e853967b ("f2fs:
compress: fix potential deadlock of compress file"). All pagelocks were
released in f2fs_write_raw_pages(), but whether the page was
in the writeback state was ignored in the subsequent writing process.
Let's fix it by waiting for the page to writeback before writing.
