Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix return value of f2fs_convert_inline_inode()

If device is readonly, make f2fs_convert_inline_inode()
return EROFS instead of zero, otherwise it may trigger
panic during writeback of inline inode's dirty page as
