In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix to invalidate dcc->f2fs_issue_discard in error path

Syzbot reports a NULL pointer dereference issue as below:

The root cause of this issue is in error path of f2fs_start_discard_thread(),
it missed to invalidate dcc->f2fs_issue_discard, later kthread_stop() may
access invalid pointer.
