From: Chao Yu <chao at kernel.org>

butt3rflyh4ck reports a bug as below:

When a thread always calls F2FS_IOC_RESIZE_FS to resize fs, if resize fs is
failed, f2fs kernel thread would invoke callback function to update f2fs io
info, it would call  f2fs_write_end_io and may trigger null-ptr-deref in
NODE_MAPPING.

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000030-0x0000000000000037]

The root cause is below race case can cause leaving dirty metadata
in f2fs after filesystem is remount as ro:

Thread A				Thread B
- f2fs_ioc_resize_fs
 - f2fs_readonly   --- return false
 - f2fs_resize_fs
					- f2fs_remount
					 - write_checkpoint
					 - set f2fs as ro
  - free_segment_range
   - update meta_inode's data

Then, if f2fs_put_super()  fails to write_checkpoint due to readonly
status, and meta_inode's dirty data will be writebacked after node_inode
is put, finally, f2fs_write_end_io will access NULL pointer on
sbi->node_inode.

Thread A				IRQ context
- f2fs_put_super
 - write_checkpoint fails
 - iput(node_inode)
 - node_inode = NULL
 - iput(meta_inode)
  - write_inode_now
   - f2fs_write_meta_page
					- f2fs_write_end_io
					 - NODE_MAPPING(sbi)
					 : access NULL pointer on node_inode
