In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs:
fix to avoid racing on fsync_entry_slab by multi filesystem instances As
syzbot reported, there is an use-after-free issue during f2fs recovery:
Use-after-free write at 0xffff88823bc16040 (in kfence-#10):

arch/x86/entry/common.c:47 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae The
root cause is multi f2fs filesystem instances can race on accessing global
fsync_entry_slab pointer, result in use-after-free issue of slab cache,
fixes to init/destroy this slab cache only once during module init/destroy
procedure to avoid this issue.
