[f2fs-dev] [PATCH] f2fs: fix to drop meta/node pages during umount

[Chao Yu]

As reported in bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204193

A null pointer dereference bug is triggered in f2fs under kernel-5.1.3.

During umount, we will access NULL sbi->node_inode pointer in
f2fs_write_end_io():

	f2fs_bug_on(sbi, page->mapping == NODE_MAPPING(sbi) &&
				page->index != nid_of_node(page));

The reason is if disable_checkpoint mount option is on, meta dirty
pages can remain during umount, and then be flushed by iput() of
meta_inode, however node_inode has been iput()ed before
meta_inode's iput().

Since checkpoint is disabled, all meta/node datas are useless and
should be dropped in next mount, so in umount, let's adjust
drop_inode() to give a hint to iput_final() to drop all those dirty
datas correctly.
