Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: fix wrong inode returned from nilfs_iget_for_shadow  on cache hit
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master


nilfs_iget_for_shadow() returns the original inode instead of the
cached shadow inode when the shadow inode already exists (I_NEW not
set). This causes nilfs_mdt_setup_shadow_map() to store the original
inode as shadow->inode, so subsequent calls to
nilfs_mdt_save_to_shadow_map() dereference the wrong inode's
i_assoc_inode, which may be NULL, leading to a general protection
fault.

This can be triggered by mounting a corrupted NILFS2 image that causes
rollback recovery, followed immediately by NILFS_IOCTL_CLEAN_SEGMENTS.
During rollback, nilfs_dat_read() is called twice, causing
nilfs_iget_for_shadow() to hit the cached path and return the wrong
inode.

Fix this by returning s_inode instead of inode on the cache hit path.
