</TASK>

And it also pinned it down to commit b5357cb268c4 ("btrfs: qgroup: do not

check qgroup inherit if qgroup is disabled").

[CAUSE]

That offending commit skips the whole qgroup inherit check if qgroup is

not enabled.

But that also skips the very basic checks like

num_ref_copies/num_excl_copies and the structure size checks.

Meaning if a qgroup enable/disable race is happening at the background,

and we pass a btrfs_qgroup_inherit structure when the qgroup is

disabled, the check would be completely skipped.

Then at the time of transaction commitment, qgroup is re-enabled and

btrfs_qgroup_inherit() is going to use the incorrect structure and

causing the above KASAN error.

[FIX]

Make btrfs_qgroup_check_inherit() only skip the source qgroup checks.

So that even if invalid btrfs_qgroup_inherit structure is passed in, we

can still reject invalid ones no matter if qgroup is enabled or not.

Furthermore we do already have an extra safety inside

btrfs_qgroup_inherit(), which would just ignore invalid qgroup sources,

so even if we only skip the qgroup source check we're still safe.
