What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix error propagation of split bios

The purpose of btrfs_bbio_propagate_error() shall be propagating an error

of split bio to its original btrfs_bio, and tell the error to the upper

layer. However, it's not working well on some cases.

* Case 1. Immediate (or quick) end_bio with an error

When btrfs sends btrfs_bio to mirrored devices, btrfs calls

btrfs_bio_end_io() when all the mirroring bios are completed. If that

btrfs_bio was split, it is from btrfs_clone_bioset and its end_io function

is btrfs_orig_write_end_io. For this case, btrfs_bbio_propagate_error()

accesses the orig_bbio's bio context to increase the error count.

That works well in most cases. However, if the end_io is called enough

fast, orig_bbio's (remaining part after split) bio context may not be

properly set at that time. Since the bio context is set when the orig_bbio

(the last btrfs_bio) is sent to devices, that might be too late for earlier

split btrfs_bio's completion. That will result in NULL pointer

dereference.

That bug is easily reproducible by running btrfs/146 on zoned devices [1]

and it shows the following trace.

[1] You need raid-stripe-tree feature as it create "-d raid0 -m raid1" FS.
