CVE-2025-38627

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

f2fs: compress: fix UAF of f2fs_inode_info in f2fs_free_dic

The decompress_io_ctx may be released asynchronously after
I/O completion. If this file is deleted immediately after read,
and the kworker of processing post_read_wq has not been executed yet
due to high workloads, It is possible that the inode(f2fs_inode_info)
is evicted and freed before it is used f2fs_free_dic.

    The UAF case as below:
    Thread A                                      Thread B
    - f2fs_decompress_end_io
     - f2fs_put_dic
      - queue_work
        add free_dic work to post_read_wq
                                                   - do_unlink
                                                    - iput
                                                     - evict
                                                      - call_rcu
    This file is deleted after read.

    Thread C                                 kworker to process post_read_wq
    - rcu_do_batch
     - f2fs_free_inode
      - kmem_cache_free
     inode is freed by rcu
                                             - process_scheduled_works
                                              - f2fs_late_free_dic
                                               - f2fs_free_dic
                                                - f2fs_release_decomp_mem
                                      read (dic->inode)->i_compress_algorithm

This patch store compress_algorithm and sbi in dic to avoid inode UAF.

In addition, the previous solution is deprecated in [1] may cause system hang.
