Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix to do sanity check on inode type during garbage collection
Git-commit: 9056d6489f5a41cfbb67f719d2c0ce61ead72d9f
Patch-mainline: v5.17-rc1
References: CVE-2021-44879 bsc#1195987

As report by Wenqing Liu in bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215231

- Overview
kernel NULL pointer dereference triggered  in folio_mark_dirty() when mount and operate on a crafted f2fs image

- Reproduce
tested on kernel 5.16-rc3, 5.15.X under root

1. mkdir mnt
2. mount -t f2fs tmp1.img mnt
3. touch tmp
4. cp tmp mnt

F2FS-fs (loop0): sanity_check_inode: inode (ino=49) extent info [5942, 4294180864, 4] is incorrect, run fsck to fix
F2FS-fs (loop0): f2fs_check_nid_range: out-of-range nid=31340049, run fsck to fix.
Bug: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 folio_mark_dirty+0x33/0x50 move_data_page+0x2dd/0x460 [f2fs] do_garbage_collect+0xc18/0x16a0 [f2fs] f2fs_gc+0x1d3/0xd90 [f2fs] f2fs_balance_fs+0x13a/0x570 [f2fs] f2fs_create+0x285/0x840 [f2fs] path_openat+0xe6d/0x1040 do_filp_open+0xc5/0x140 do_sys_openat2+0x23a/0x310 do_sys_open+0x57/0x80

The root cause is for special file: e.g. character, block, fifo or socket file,
f2fs doesn't assign address space operations pointer array for mapping->a_ops field,
so, in a fuzzed image, SSA table indicates a data block belong to special file, when
f2fs tries to migrate that block, it causes NULL pointer access once move_data_page()
calls a_ops->set_dirty_page().
