CVE: CVE-2024-46733
Published: 2024-09-18
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix qgroup reserve leaks in cow_file_range

In the buffered write path, the dirty page owns the qgroup reserve until
it creates an ordered_extent.

Therefore, any errors that occur before the ordered_extent is created
must free that reservation, or else the space is leaked. The fstest
generic/475 exercises various IO error paths, and is able to trigger
errors in cow_file_range where we fail to get to allocating the ordered
extent. Note that because we *do* clear delalloc, we are likely to
remove the inode from the delalloc list, so the inodes/pages to not have
invalidate/launder called on them in the commit abort path.

This results in failures at the unmount stage of the test that look like:

  BTRFS: error (device dm-8 state EA) in cleanup_transaction:2018: errno=-5 IO failure
  BTRFS: error (device dm-8 state EA) in btrfs_replace_file_extents:2416: errno=-5 IO failure
  BTRFS warning (device dm-8 state EA): qgroup 0/5 has unreleased space, type 0 rsv 28672

  BTRFS error (device dm-8 state EA): qgroup reserved space leaked

Cases 2 and 3 in the out_reserve path both pertain to this type of leak
and must free the reserved qgroup data. Because it is already an error
path, I opted not to handle the possible errors in
btrfs_free_qgroup_data.
