CVE-2022-50067
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: unset reloc control if transaction commit fails in prepare_to_relocate()

In btrfs_relocate_block_group(), the rc is allocated.  Then
btrfs_relocate_block_group() calls

relocate_block_group()
  prepare_to_relocate()
    set_reloc_control()

that assigns rc to the variable fs_info->reloc_ctl. When
prepare_to_relocate() returns, it calls

btrfs_commit_transaction()
  btrfs_start_dirty_block_groups()
    btrfs_alloc_path()
      kmem_cache_zalloc()

which may fail for example (or other errors could happen). When the
failure occurs, btrfs_relocate_block_group() detects the error and frees
rc and doesn't set fs_info->reloc_ctl to NULL. After that, in
btrfs_init_reloc_root(), rc is retrieved from fs_info->reloc_ctl and
then used, which may cause a use-after-free bug.

This possible bug can be triggered by calling btrfs_ioctl_balance()
before calling btrfs_ioctl_defrag().

To fix this possible bug, in prepare_to_relocate(), check if
btrfs_commit_transaction() fails. If the failure occurs,
unset_reloc_control() is called to set fs_info->reloc_ctl to NULL.

The error log in our fault-injection testing is shown as follows:
