Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to truncate first page in error path of f2fs_truncate()
syzbot reports a bug as below:

During f2fs_evict_inode(), clear_inode() detects that we missed to truncate all page cache before destorying inode, that is because in below path, we will create page #0 in cache, but missed to drop it in error path, let's fix it.
