Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
btrfs: qgroup: do not warn on record without old_roots populated<br />
<br />
[BUG]<br />
There are some reports from the mailing list that since v6.1 kernel, the<br />
WARN_ON() inside btrfs_qgroup_account_extent() gets triggered during<br />
rescan:<br />
<br />

<br />
[CAUSE]<br />
Since commit e15e9f43c7ca ("btrfs: introduce<br />
BTRFS_QGROUP_RUNTIME_FLAG_NO_ACCOUNTING to skip qgroup accounting"), if<br />
our qgroup is already in inconsistent state, we will no longer do the<br />
time-consuming backref walk.<br />
<br />
This can leave some qgroup records without a valid old_roots ulist.<br />
Normally this is fine, as btrfs_qgroup_account_extents() would also skip<br />
those records if we have NO_ACCOUNTING flag set.<br />
<br />
But there is a small window, if we have NO_ACCOUNTING flag set, and<br />
inserted some qgroup_record without a old_roots ulist, but then the user<br />
triggered a qgroup rescan.<br />
<br />
During btrfs_qgroup_rescan(), we firstly clear NO_ACCOUNTING flag, then<br />
commit current transaction.<br />
<br />
And since we have a qgroup_record with old_roots = NULL, we trigger the<br />
WARN_ON() during btrfs_qgroup_account_extents().<br />
<br />
[FIX]<br />
Unfortunately due to the introduction of NO_ACCOUNTING flag, the<br />
assumption that every qgroup_record would have its old_roots populated<br />
is no longer correct.<br />
<br />
Fix the false alerts and drop the WARN_ON().
