Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
f2fs: fix null-ptr-deref in f2fs_get_dnode_of_data<br />
<br />
There is issue as follows when test f2fs atomic write:<br />
F2FS-fs (loop0): Can&#39;t find valid F2FS filesystem in 2th superblock<br />
F2FS-fs (loop0): invalid crc_offset: 0<br />
F2FS-fs (loop0): f2fs_check_nid_range: out-of-range nid=1, run fsck to fix.<br />
F2FS-fs (loop0): f2fs_check_nid_range: out-of-range nid=2, run fsck to fix.<br />

As 3db1de0e582c commit changed atomic write way which new a cow_inode for<br />
atomic write file, and also mark cow_inode as FI_ATOMIC_FILE.<br />
When f2fs_do_write_data_page write cow_inode will use cow_inode&#39;s cow_inode<br />
which is NULL. Then will trigger null-ptr-deref.<br />
To solve above issue, introduce FI_COW_FILE flag for COW inode.<br />
