CVE-2024-42266
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: make cow_file_range_inline() honor locked_page on error

The btrfs buffered write path runs through __extent_writepage() which
has some tricky return value handling for writepage_delalloc().
Specifically, when that returns 1, we exit, but for other return values
we continue and end up calling btrfs_folio_end_all_writers(). If the
folio has been unlocked (note that we check the PageLocked bit at the
start of __extent_writepage()), this results in an assert panic like
this one from syzbot:

  BTRFS: error (device loop0 state EAL) in free_log_tree:3267: errno=-5 IO failure
  BTRFS warning (device loop0 state EAL): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.
  BTRFS: error (device loop0 state EAL) in cleanup_transaction:2018: errno=-5 IO failure
  assertion failed: folio_test_locked(folio), in fs/btrfs/subpage.c:871

I was hitting the same issue by doing hundreds of accelerated runs of
generic/475, which also hits IO errors by design.

I instrumented that reproducer with bpftrace and found that the
undesirable folio_unlock was coming from the following callstack:

  folio_unlock+5
  __process_pages_contig+475
  cow_file_range_inline.constprop.0+230
  cow_file_range+803
  btrfs_run_delalloc_range+566
  writepage_delalloc+332
  __extent_writepage # inlined in my stacktrace, but I added it here
  extent_write_cache_pages+622
