In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: quota: fix to avoid warning in dquot_writeback_dquots()
F2FS-fs (dm-59): checkpoint=enable has some unwritten data.

checkpoint and f2fs_remount may race as below, resulting triggering warning
in dquot_writeback_dquots().
atomic write remount
- do_remount
- down_write(&sb->s_umount);
- f2fs_remount
- ioctl
- f2fs_do_sync_file
- f2fs_sync_fs
- f2fs_write_checkpoint
- block_operations
- locked = down_read_trylock(&sbi->sb->s_umount)
: fail to lock due to the write lock was held by remount
- up_write(&sb->s_umount);
- f2fs_quota_sync
- dquot_writeback_dquots
- WARN_ON_ONCE(!rwsem_is_locked(&sb->s_umount))
: trigger warning because s_umount lock was unlocked by remount
If checkpoint comes from mount/umount/remount/freeze/quotactl, caller of
checkpoint has already held s_umount lock, calling dquot_writeback_dquots()
in the context should be safe.
So let's record task to sbi->umount_lock_holder, so that checkpoint can
know whether the lock has held in the context or not by checking current
w/ it.
In addition, in order to not misrepresent caller of checkpoint, we should
not allow to trigger async checkpoint for those callers: mount/umount/remount/
freeze/quotactl.
