f2fs: fix to avoid NULL pointer dereference in f2fs_issue_flush()
With below two cases, it will cause NULL pointer dereference when accessing SM_I(sbi)->fcc_info in f2fs_issue_flush(). a) If kthread_run() fails in f2fs_create_flush_cmd_control(), it will release SM_I(sbi)->fcc_info, - mount -o noflush_merge /dev/vda /mnt/f2fs - mount -o remount,flush_merge /dev/vda /mnt/f2fs -- kthread_run() fails - dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/f2fs/file bs=4k count=1 conv=fsync b) we will never allocate memory for SM_I(sbi)->fcc_info w/ below testcase, - mount -o ro /dev/vda /mnt/f2fs - mount -o rw,remount /dev/vda /mnt/f2fs - dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/f2fs/file bs=4k count=1 conv=fsync In order to fix this issue, let change as below: - fix error path handling in f2fs_create_flush_cmd_control(). - allocate SM_I(sbi)->fcc_info even if readonly is on.
