In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix race in concurrent f2fs_stop_gc_thread
In my test case, concurrent calls to f2fs shutdown report the following
stack trace:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xc6cfff63bb5513fc: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 678 Comm: f2fs_rep_shutdo Not tainted 6.12.0-rc5-next-20241029-g6fb2fa9805c5-dirty #85

The root cause is a race condition in f2fs_stop_gc_thread() called from
different f2fs shutdown paths:
[CPU0] [CPU1]
---------------------- -----------------------
f2fs_stop_gc_thread f2fs_stop_gc_thread
gc_th = sbi->gc_thread
gc_th = sbi->gc_thread
kfree(gc_th)
sbi->gc_thread = NULL
< gc_th != NULL >
kthread_stop(gc_th->f2fs_gc_task) //UAF
The commit c7f114d864ac ("f2fs: fix to avoid use-after-free in
f2fs_stop_gc_thread()") attempted to fix this issue by using a read
semaphore to prevent races between shutdown and remount threads, but
it fails to prevent all race conditions.
Fix it by converting to write lock of s_umount in f2fs_do_shutdown().
