From: Dongliang Mu <mudongliangabcd@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 5429c9dbc9025f9a166f64e22e3a69c94fd5b29b upstream.
if2fs_fill_super
-> f2fs_build_segment_manager
-> create_discard_cmd_control
-> f2fs_start_discard_thread
It invokes kthread_run to create a thread and run issue_discard_thread.
However, if f2fs_build_node_manager fails, the control flow goes to
free_nm and calls f2fs_destroy_node_manager. This function will free
sbi->nm_info. However, if issue_discard_thread accesses sbi->nm_info
after the deallocation, but before the f2fs_stop_discard_thread, it will
cause UAF(Use-after-free).
-> f2fs_destroy_segment_manager
-> destroy_discard_cmd_control
-> f2fs_stop_discard_thread
Fix this by stopping discard thread before f2fs_destroy_node_manager.
Note that, the commit d6d2b491a82e1 introduces the call of
f2fs_available_free_memory into issue_discard_thread.
