The i_size value of the directory "cgroup.controllers" opened by openat is 0, which causes 0 to be returned when calculating the last valid byte in nilfs_last_byte(), which ultimately causes kaddr to move forward by reclen (its value is 32 in this case), which ultimately triggers the uaf when accessing de->rec_len in nilfs_find_entry(). To avoid this issue, add a check for i_size in nilfs_lookup().
