This happens when 'clear_inode()' makes an attempt to finalize an underlying
JFS inode of unknown type. According to JFS layout description from
https://jfs.sourceforge.net/project/pub/jfslayout.pdf, inode types from 5 to
15 are reserved for future extensions and should not be encountered on a valid
filesystem. So add an extra check for valid inode type in 'copy_from_dinode()'.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-37925 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8987891c4653874d5e3f5d11f063912f4e0b58eb
