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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
