Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
btrfs: zoned: fix lock ordering in btrfs_zone_activate()<br />
<br />
The btrfs CI reported a lockdep warning as follows by running generic<br />
generic/129.<br />
<br />
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected<br />
6.7.0-rc5+ #1 Not tainted<br />
------------------------------------------------------<br />
kworker/u5:5/793427 is trying to acquire lock:<br />
ffff88813256d028 (&cache->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: btrfs_zone_finish_one_bg+0x5e/0x130<br />
but task is already holding lock:<br />
ffff88810a23a318 (&fs_info->zone_active_bgs_lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: btrfs_zone_finish_one_bg+0x34/0x130<br />
which lock already depends on the new lock.<br />
<br />
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:<br />
-> #1 (&fs_info->zone_active_bgs_lock){+.+.}-{2:2}:<br />
...<br />
-> #0 (&cache->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}:<br />
...<br />
<br />
This is because we take fs_info->zone_active_bgs_lock after a block_group&#39;s<br />
lock in btrfs_zone_activate() while doing the opposite in other places.<br />
<br />
Fix the issue by expanding the fs_info->zone_active_bgs_lock&#39;s critical<br />
section and taking it before a block_group&#39;s lock.
