[PATCH] f2fs: fix error path of f2fs_create_flush_cmd_control()

From: Chao Yu
Date: Fri Dec 30 2022 - 08:29:13 EST


If kthread_run() fails in f2fs_create_flush_cmd_control(), it should
not release SM_I(sbi)->fcc_info, otherwise, w/ below testcase, it will
cause NULL pointer dereference when accessing SM_I(sbi)->fcc_info
in f2fs_issue_flush().

- 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
