Pull vfs hardening update from Christian Brauner: "Jan pointed out that during shutdown both filp_close() and super block destruction will use basic printk logging when bugs are detected. This causes issues in a few scenarios: - Tools like syzkaller cannot figure out that the logged message indicates a bug. - Users that explicitly opt in to have the kernel bug on data corruption by selecting CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION should see the kernel crash when they did actually select that option. - When there are busy inodes after the superblock is shut down later access to such a busy inodes walks through freed memory. It would be better to cleanly crash instead. All of this can be addressed by using the already existing CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() macro in these places when kernel bugs are detected. Its logging improvement is useful for all users. Otherwise this only has a meaningful behavioral effect when users do select CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION which means this is backward compatible for regular users" * tag 'fs.v6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping: fs: Use CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() when kernel bugs are detected
