In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix to clear dirty inode in f2fs_evict_inode()

As Yanming reported in bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215904

The kernel message is shown below:

The root cause is: inode node and dnode node share the same nid,
so during f2fs_evict_inode(), dnode node truncation will invalidate
its NAT entry, so when truncating inode node, it fails due to
invalid NAT entry, result in inode is still marked as dirty, fix
this issue by clearing dirty for inode and setting SBI_NEED_FSCK
flag in filesystem.

output from dump.f2fs:
[print_node_info: 354] Node ID [0xf:15] is inode
i_nid[0] [0x f : 15]
