CVE-2024-57975 (2024)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: do proper folio cleanup when run_delalloc_nocow() failed

[BUG]
With CONFIG_DEBUG_VM set, test case generic/476 has some chance to crash
with the following VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO():

[CAUSE]
The first two lines of extra debug messages show the problem is caused
by the error handling of run_delalloc_nocow().

E.g. we have the following dirtied range (4K blocksize 4K page size):

    0                 16K                  32K
    |//////////////////////////////////////|
    |  Pre-allocated  |

And the range [0, 16K) has a preallocated extent.

- Enter run_delalloc_nocow() for range [0, 16K)
  Which found range [0, 16K) is preallocated, can do the proper NOCOW
  write.

- Enter fallback_to_fow() for range [16K, 32K)
  Since the range [16K, 32K) is not backed by preallocated extent, we
  have to go COW.

- cow_file_range() failed for range [16K, 32K)
  So cow_file_range() will do the clean up by clearing folio dirty,
  unlock the folios.

  Now the folios in range [16K, 32K) is unlocked.

- Enter extent_clear_unlock_delalloc() from run_delalloc_nocow()
  Which is called with PAGE_START_WRITEBACK to start page writeback.
  But folios can only be marked writeback when it's properly locked,
  thus this triggered the VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO().

Furthermore there is another hidden but common bug that
run_delalloc_nocow() is not clearing the folio dirty flags in its error
handling path.
This is the common bug shared between run_delalloc_nocow() and
cow_file_range().

[FIX]
- Clear folio dirty for range [@start, @cur_offset)
  Introduce a helper, cleanup_dirty_folios(), which
  will find and lock the folio in the range, clear the dirty flag and
  start/end the writeback, with the extra handling for the
  @locked_folio.

- Introduce a helper to clear folio dirty, start and end writeback

- Introduce a helper to record the last failed COW range end
  This is to trace which range we should skip, to avoid double
  unlocking.

- Skip the failed COW range for the e
