Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: reliably distinguish block based and fscache mode When erofs_kill_sb() is called in block dev based mode, s_bdev may not
have been initialised yet, and if CONFIG_EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND is enabled,
it will be mistaken for fscache mode, and then attempt to free an anon_dev
that has never been allocated, triggering the following warning: ============================================
ida_free called for id=0 which is not allocated.
WARNING: CPU: 14 PID: 926 at lib/idr.c:525 ida_free+0x134/0x140

============================================ Now when erofs_kill_sb() is called, erofs_sb_info must have been
initialised, so use sbi->fsid to distinguish between the two modes.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: erofs: distingue de manera confiable el modo basado en bloques y el modo fscache cuando se llama a erofs_kill_sb() en el modo basado en desarrollo de bloques, es posible que s_bdev aún no se haya inicializado y, si CONFIG_EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND está habilitado, se confundido con el modo fscache y luego intenta liberar un anon_dev que nunca ha sido asignado, lo que genera la siguiente advertencia: ============================= ================= ida_free solicitó id=0 que no está asignado.
