Long Li 7b0033dbc4 f2fs: fix race in concurrent f2fs_stop_gc_thread
In my test case, concurrent calls to f2fs shutdown report the following
stack trace:

 Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xc6cfff63bb5513fc: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
 CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 678 Comm: f2fs_rep_shutdo Not tainted 6.12.0-rc5-next-20241029-g6fb2fa9805c5-dirty #85

The root cause is a race condition in f2fs_stop_gc_thread() called from
different f2fs shutdown paths:

  [CPU0]                       [CPU1]
  ----------------------       -----------------------
  f2fs_stop_gc_thread          f2fs_stop_gc_thread
                                 gc_th = sbi->gc_thread
    gc_th = sbi->gc_thread
    kfree(gc_th)
    sbi->gc_thread = NULL
                                 < gc_th != NULL >
                                 kthread_stop(gc_th->f2fs_gc_task) //UAF

The commit c7f114d864 ("f2fs: fix to avoid use-after-free in
f2fs_stop_gc_thread()") attempted to fix this issue by using a read
semaphore to prevent races between shutdown and remount threads, but
it fails to prevent all race conditions.

Fix it by converting to write lock of s_umount in f2fs_do_shutdown().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
