Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix valid block count leak on data block allocation failure
In __allocate_data_block(), when allocating a new data block
(dn->data_blkaddr == NULL_ADDR), inc_valid_block_count() is
called first to increment total_valid_block_count and i_blocks.
If the subsequent f2fs_allocate_data_block() fails, the function
returns the error directly without rolling back the
already-incremented block counts, causing a permanent leak.
Fix this by calling dec_valid_block_count() to undo the
increment before returning the error. The condition
old_blkaddr == NULL_ADDR precisely identifies the case where
inc_valid_block_count() was called.
