f2fs_write_end_io() currently decrements the writeback page counter before
waking sbi->cp_wait for the last F2FS_WB_CP_DATA completion.

That decrement can drop the F2FS_WB_CP_DATA count to zero. It can unblock
a concurrent unmount path waiting in f2fs_wait_on_all_pages(). Unmount can
continue through f2fs_put_super() and eventually free sbi while the end_io
callback is still about to evaluate wq_has_sleeper() and wake_up() on
sbi->cp_wait.

Commit 2d9c4a4ed4ee ("f2fs: fix UAF caused by decrementing sbi->nr_pages[]
in f2fs_write_end_io()") fixed one post-decrement sbi access by moving the
warm-node-list handling before dec_page_count(). The compressed writeback
path follows the same rule and documents that dec_page_count() must be the
last access to sbi when it can drop F2FS_WB_CP_DATA to zero.

Apply the same ordering rule to the cp_wait wakeup. Check whether this is
the last F2FS_WB_CP_DATA completion and wake the waiter before the counter
decrement. Then the callback no longer dereferences sbi->cp_wait after the
lifetime boundary. A waiter that runs before the decrement may observe old
count and sleep until the one-jiffy timeout, but correctness no longer
depends on touching sbi after the counter reaches zero.

If we call dec_page_count() after wake_up(), get_pages() in below function
may return true, and then ckpt thread may need to wait on cp_wait for another
DEFAULT_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT?

void f2fs_wait_on_all_pages(struct f2fs_sb_info *sbi, int type)
{
        DEFINE_WAIT(wait);

        for (;;) {
                if (!get_pages(sbi, type))
                        break;

                if (unlikely(f2fs_cp_error(sbi) &&
                        !is_sbi_flag_set(sbi, SBI_IS_CLOSE)))
                        break;

                if (type == F2FS_DIRTY_META)
                        f2fs_sync_meta_pages(sbi, LONG_MAX, FS_CP_META_IO);
                else if (type == F2FS_WB_CP_DATA)
                        f2fs_submit_merged_write(sbi, DATA);

                prepare_to_wait(&sbi->cp_wait, &wait, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
                io_schedule_timeout(DEFAULT_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT);
        }
        finish_wait(&sbi->cp_wait, &wait);
}

How about:

static inline int dec_return_page_count(struct f2fs_sb_info *sbi, int 
count_type)
{
        return atomic_dec_return(&sbi->nr_pages[count_type]);
}

f2fs_write_end_io()
{
...
        bool need_wakeup = false;

...

        if (type == F2FS_WB_CP_DATA)
                need_wakeup = !dec_return_page_count(sbi, type);
        else
                dec_page_count(sbi, type);


        if (need_wakeup && wq_has_sleeper(&sbi->cp_wait))
                wake_up(&sbi->cp_wait);
...
}

Thanks,
