In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs:
zoned: fix lock ordering in btrfs_zone_activate() The btrfs CI reported a
lockdep warning as follows by running generic generic/129. WARNING:
possible circular locking dependency detected 6.7.0-rc5+ #1 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------ kworker/u5:5/793427
is trying to acquire lock: ffff88813256d028 (&cache->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at:
btrfs_zone_finish_one_bg+0x5e/0x130 but task is already holding lock:
ffff88810a23a318 (&fs_info->zone_active_bgs_lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at:
btrfs_zone_finish_one_bg+0x34/0x130 which lock already depends on the new
lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1
(&fs_info->zone_active_bgs_lock){+.+.}-{2:2}: … -> #0
(&cache->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}: … This is because we take
fs_info->zone_active_bgs_lock after a block_group’s lock in
btrfs_zone_activate() while doing the opposite in other places. Fix the
issue by expanding the fs_info->zone_active_bgs_lock’s critical section and
taking it before a block_group’s lock.
