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.
