[PATCH v4] f2fs: add check for deleted inode

From: Chao Yu
Date: Wed Feb 12 2025 - 02:28:10 EST


From: Leo Stone <leocstone@xxxxxxxxx>

The syzbot reproducer mounts a f2fs image, then tries to unlink an
existing file. However, the unlinked file already has a link count of 0
when it is read for the first time in do_read_inode().

Add a check to sanity_check_inode() for i_nlink == 0.

[Chao Yu: rebase the code and fix orphan inode recovery issue]
Reported-by: syzbot+b01a36acd7007e273a83@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=b01a36acd7007e273a83
Fixes: 39a53e0ce0df ("f2fs: add superblock and major in-memory structure")
