CVE-2024-57976 (2024)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: do proper folio cleanup when cow_file_range() failed

[BUG]
When testing with COW fixup marked as BUG_ON() (this is involved with the
new pin_user_pages*() change, which should not result new out-of-band
dirty pages), I hit a crash triggered by the BUG_ON() from hitting COW
fixup path.

This BUG_ON() happens just after a failed btrfs_run_delalloc_range():

  BTRFS error (device dm-2): failed to run delalloc range, root 348 ino 405 folio 65536 submit_bitmap 6-15 start 90112 len 106496: -28

[CAUSE]
That failure is mostly from cow_file_range(), where we can hit -ENOSPC.

Although the -ENOSPC is already a bug related to our space reservation
code, let's just focus on the error handling.

For example, we have the following dirty range [0, 64K) of an inode,
with 4K sector size and 4K page size:

   0        16K        32K       48K       64K
   |///////////////////////////////////////|
   |#######################################|

Where |///| means page are still dirty, and |###| means the extent io
tree has EXTENT_DELALLOC flag.

- Enter extent_writepage() for page 0

- Enter btrfs_run_delalloc_range() for range [0, 64K)

- Enter cow_file_range() for range [0, 64K)

- Function btrfs_reserve_extent() only reserved one 16K extent
  So we created extent map and ordered extent for range [0, 16K)

   0        16K        32K       48K       64K
   |////////|//////////////////////////////|
   |<- OE ->|##############################|

   And range [0, 16K) has its delalloc flag cleared.
   But since we haven't yet submit any bio, involved 4 pages are still
   dirty.

- Function btrfs_reserve_extent() returns with -ENOSPC
  Now we have to run error cleanup, which will clear all
  EXTENT_DELALLOC* flags and clear the dirty flags for the remaining
  ranges:

   0        16K        32K       48K       64K
   |////////|                              |
   |        |                              |

  Note that range [0, 16K) still has its pages dirty.

- Some time later, writeback is triggered again for the range [0, 16K)
  since the page range still has dirty flags.

- btrfs_run_delalloc_range() will do nothing because there is no
  EXTENT_DELALLOC flag.

- extent_writepage_io() finds page 0 has no ordered flag
  Which falls into the COW fixup path, triggering the BUG_ON().

Unfortunately this error handling bug dates back to the introduction of
btrfs.  Thankfully with the abuse of COW fixup, at least it won't crash
the kernel.

[FIX]
Instead of immediately unlocking the extent and folios, we keep the extent
and folios locked until either erroring out or the whole delalloc range
finished.

When the whole delalloc range finished without error, we just unlock the
whole range with PAGE_SET_ORDERED (and PAGE_UNLOCK for !keep_locked
cases)
