Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
btrfs: zoned: allocate dummy checksums for zoned NODATASUM writes<br />
<br />
Shin&#39;ichiro reported that when he&#39;s running fstests&#39; test-case<br />
btrfs/167 on emulated zoned devices, he&#39;s seeing the following NULL<br />
pointer dereference in &#39;btrfs_zone_finish_endio()&#39;:<br />

Enabling CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT revealed the following assertion to<br />
trigger:<br />
<br />
assertion failed: !list_empty(&ordered->list), in fs/btrfs/zoned.c:1815<br />
<br />
This indicates, that we&#39;re missing the checksums list on the<br />
ordered_extent. As btrfs/167 is doing a NOCOW write this is to be<br />
expected.<br />
<br />
Further analysis with drgn confirmed the assumption:<br />
<br />
>>> inode = prog.crashed_thread().stack_trace()[11][&#39;ordered&#39;].inode<br />
>>> btrfs_inode = drgn.container_of(inode, "struct btrfs_inode", \<br />
"vfs_inode")<br />
>>> print(btrfs_inode.flags)<br />
(u32)1<br />
<br />
As zoned emulation mode simulates conventional zones on regular devices,<br />
we cannot use zone-append for writing. But we&#39;re only attaching dummy<br />
checksums if we&#39;re doing a zone-append write.<br />
<br />
So for NOCOW zoned data writes on conventional zones, also attach a<br />
dummy checksum.
