In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix to don't dirty inode for readonly filesystem

syzbot reports f2fs bug as below:

kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/inode.c:933!
RIP: 0010:f2fs_evict_inode+0x1576/0x1590 fs/f2fs/inode.c:933

The root cause is:
- do_sys_open
 - f2fs_lookup
  - __f2fs_find_entry
   - f2fs_i_depth_write
    - f2fs_mark_inode_dirty_sync
     - f2fs_dirty_inode
      - set_inode_flag(inode, FI_DIRTY_INODE)

- umount
 - kill_f2fs_super
  - kill_block_super
   - generic_shutdown_super
    - sync_filesystem
    : sb is readonly, skip sync_filesystem()
    - evict_inodes
     - iput
      - f2fs_evict_inode
       - f2fs_bug_on(sbi, is_inode_flag_set(inode, FI_DIRTY_INODE))
       : trigger kernel panic

When we try to repair i_current_depth in readonly filesystem, let's
skip dirty inode to avoid panic in later f2fs_evict_inode().
