I bet the uninitialize value is because "max_depth" is zero.


   352  struct f2fs_dir_entry *__f2fs_find_entry(struct inode *dir,
   353                                           const struct f2fs_filename *fname,
   354                                           struct page **res_page)
                                                               ^^^^^^^^
The stack trace says this isn't initialized.

   355  {
   356          unsigned long npages = dir_blocks(dir);
   357          struct f2fs_dir_entry *de = NULL;
   358          unsigned int max_depth;
   359          unsigned int level;
   360  
   361          if (f2fs_has_inline_dentry(dir)) {
   362                  *res_page = NULL;
   363                  de = f2fs_find_in_inline_dir(dir, fname, res_page);
   364                  goto out;
   365          }
   366  
   367          if (npages == 0) {
   368                  *res_page = NULL;
   369                  goto out;
   370          }
   371  
   372          max_depth = F2FS_I(dir)->i_current_depth;
   373          if (unlikely(max_depth > MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH)) {
   374                  f2fs_warn(F2FS_I_SB(dir), "Corrupted max_depth of %lu: %u",
   375                            dir->i_ino, max_depth);
   376                  max_depth = MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH;
   377                  f2fs_i_depth_write(dir, max_depth);
   378          }
   379  
   380          for (level = 0; level < max_depth; level++) {
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If "max_depth" is zero, then we never enter this loop.

   381                  *res_page = NULL;
   382                  de = find_in_level(dir, level, fname, res_page);
   383                  if (de || IS_ERR(*res_page))
   384                          break;
   385          }
   386  out:
   387          /* This is to increase the speed of f2fs_create */
   388          if (!de)
   389                  F2FS_I(dir)->task = current;
   390          return de;

Which means that we return a NULL "de" and "*res_page" is uninitialized
and that matches what syzbot found throug runtime testing.

   391  }
