What it is

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

f2fs: fix f2fs_bug_on when uninstalling filesystem call f2fs_evict_inode.

creating a large files during checkpoint disable until it runs out of

space and then delete it, then remount to enable checkpoint again, and

then unmount the filesystem triggers the f2fs_bug_on as below:

The root cause is: creating large files during disable checkpoint

period results in not enough free segments, so when writing back root

inode will failed in f2fs_enable_checkpoint. When umount the file

system after enabling checkpoint, the root inode is dirty in

f2fs_evict_inode function, which triggers BUG_ON. The steps to

reproduce are as follows:

dd if=/dev/zero of=f2fs.img bs=1M count=55

mount f2fs.img f2fs_dir -o checkpoint=disable:10%

dd if=/dev/zero of=big bs=1M count=50

sync

rm big

mount -o remount,checkpoint=enable f2fs_dir

umount f2fs_dir

Let's redirty inode when there is not free segments during checkpoint

is disable.
