Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
btrfs: fix qgroup reserve leaks in cow_file_range<br />
<br />
In the buffered write path, the dirty page owns the qgroup reserve until<br />
it creates an ordered_extent.<br />
<br />
Therefore, any errors that occur before the ordered_extent is created<br />
must free that reservation, or else the space is leaked. The fstest<br />
generic/475 exercises various IO error paths, and is able to trigger<br />
errors in cow_file_range where we fail to get to allocating the ordered<br />
extent. Note that because we *do* clear delalloc, we are likely to<br />
remove the inode from the delalloc list, so the inodes/pages to not have<br />
invalidate/launder called on them in the commit abort path.<br />
<br />
This results in failures at the unmount stage of the test that look like:<br />
<br />
BTRFS: error (device dm-8 state EA) in cleanup_transaction:2018: errno=-5 IO failure<br />
BTRFS: error (device dm-8 state EA) in btrfs_replace_file_extents:2416: errno=-5 IO failure<br />
BTRFS warning (device dm-8 state EA): qgroup 0/5 has unreleased space, type 0 rsv 28672<br />

BTRFS error (device dm-8 state EA): qgroup reserved space leaked<br />
<br />
Cases 2 and 3 in the out_reserve path both pertain to this type of leak<br />
and must free the reserved qgroup data. Because it is already an error<br />
path, I opted not to handle the possible errors in<br />
btrfs_free_qgroup_data.
