CVE-2023-53845
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix infinite loop in nilfs_mdt_get_block()
If the disk image that nilfs2 mounts is corrupted and a virtual block address obtained by block lookup for a metadata file is invalid, nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level() may return the same internal return code as -ENOENT, meaning the block does not exist in the metadata file.
This duplication of return codes confuses nilfs_mdt_get_block(), causing it to read and create a metadata block indefinitely.
In particular, if this happens to the inode metadata file, ifile, semaphore i_rwsem can be left held, causing task hangs in lock_mount.

Fix this issue by making nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level() treat virtual block address translation failures with -ENOENT as metadata corruption instead of returning the error code.
