Does not apply for me at all:

Applying patch f2fs-fix-error-handling-in-f2fs_end_enable_verity.patch
patching file fs/f2fs/verity.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 152.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- rejects in file fs/f2fs/verity.c
Patch f2fs-fix-error-handling-in-f2fs_end_enable_verity.patch does not apply (enforce with -f)

Can you provide a backport?

thanks,
