Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix return value of f2fs_recover_fsync_data()
With below scripts, it will trigger panic in f2fs:
mkfs.f2fs -f /dev/vdd
mount /dev/vdd /mnt/f2fs
touch /mnt/f2fs/foo
sync
echo 111 >> /mnt/f2fs/foo
f2fs_io fsync /mnt/f2fs/foo
f2fs_io shutdown 2 /mnt/f2fs
umount /mnt/f2fs
mount -o ro,norecovery /dev/vdd /mnt/f2fs
or
mount -o ro,disable_roll_forward /dev/vdd /mnt/f2fs
F2FS-fs (vdd): f2fs_recover_fsync_data: recovery fsync data, check_only: 0
F2FS-fs (vdd): Mounted with checkpoint version = 7f5c361f
F2FS-fs (vdd): Stopped filesystem due to reason: 0
F2FS-fs (vdd): f2fs_recover_fsync_data: recovery fsync data, check_only: 1
Filesystem f2fs get_tree() didn't set fc->root, returned 1

The root cause is we missed to handle error number returned from
f2fs_recover_fsync_data() when mounting image w/ ro,norecovery or
ro,disable_roll_forward mount option, result in returning a positive
error number to vfs_get_tree(), fix it.
