Summary
f2fs: fix to do sanity check on F2FS_INLINE_DATA flag in inode during GC
Details

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

f2fs: fix to do sanity check on F2FSINLINEDATA flag in inode during GC

syzbot reports a f2fs bug as below:

The root cause is: inlinedata inode can be fuzzed, so that there may be valid blkaddr in its direct node, once f2fs triggers background GC to migrate the block, it will hit f2fsbug_on() during dirty page writeback.

Let's add sanity check on F2FSINLINEDATA flag in inode during GC, so that, it can forbid migrating inline_data inode's data block for fixing.
