Description bughunter 2022-03-21 10:54:32 UTC

I have created an image with mkfs.f2fs, and modified some of the metadata of the image. Unfortunately, when I tried to mount the image with a loop device, the kernel deadlocked. I have attempted many ways to stop the mount process, even executed a 'kill' command, but they are failed, only what I can do is to reboot the system. Can anyone tell me why the kernel deadlocked, and how can I fix this problem?

I have upload the image to the Google Drive (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DBwKP0-MpkD3eHPTluz3KPcxbdZAw06t/view?usp=sharing). Looking forward to getting a reply :)
