For reference, this issue doesn't affect Linux kernel below 6.6.

This behavior ("s_bdev may not be initialized in erofs_kill_sb()")
is introduced due to commit aca740cecbe5 ("fs: open block device after
superblock creation").

In other words, previously .kill_sb() was called only after
fill_super failed and problematic erofs_kill_sb() called due to
setup_bdev_super() failure can only happen since Linux 6.6.

Exactly! I'm so sorry I forgot to add the Fixes tag.

No worries. I've updated the CVE database with this information and the
json file and web site will show the new information soon when it gets
propagated.
