Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: always report error in run_one_delayed_ref()
Currently we have a btrfs_debug() for run_one_delayed_ref() failure, but if end users hit such problem, there will be no chance that btrfs_debug() is enabled. This can lead to very little useful info for debugging.
This patch will:
- Add extra info for error reporting Including:
- logical bytenr
- num_bytes
- type
- action
-
ref_mod
-
Replace the btrfs_debug() with btrfs_err()
-
Move the error reporting into run_one_delayed_ref() This is to avoid use-after-free, the @node can be freed in the caller.
This error should only be triggered at most once.
As if run_one_delayed_ref() failed, we trigger the error message, then causing the call chain to error out:
btrfs_run_delayed_refs()
- btrfs_run_delayed_refs()- btrfs_run_delayed_refs_for_head()
`- run_one_delayed_ref()
And we will abort the current transaction in btrfs_run_delayed_refs(). If we have to run delayed refs for the abort transaction, run_one_delayed_ref() will just cleanup the refs and do nothing, thus no new error messages would be output.
