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.
