In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs:
don’t drop extent_map for free space inode on write error While running the
CI for an unrelated change I hit the following panic with generic/648 on
btrfs_holes_spacecache. assertion failed: block_start != EXTENT_MAP_HOLE,
in fs/btrfs/extent_io.c:1385 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel

write out the free space cache in one instance, come back around and
attempt to write it again. However on the second pass through we go to call
btrfs_get_extent() on the inode to get the extent mapping. Because this is
a new block group, and with the free space inode we always search the
commit root to avoid deadlocking with the tree, we find nothing and return
a EXTENT_MAP_HOLE for the requested range. This happens because the first
time we try to write the space cache out we hit an error, and on an error
we drop the extent mapping. This is normal for normal files, but the free
space cache inode is special. We always expect the extent map to be
correct. Thus the second time through we end up with a bogus extent map.
Since we’re deprecating this feature, the most straightforward way to fix
this is to simply skip dropping the extent map range for this failed range.
I shortened the test by using error injection to stress the area to make it
easier to reproduce. With this patch in place we no longer panic with my
error injection test.
