btrfs: fix hang during unmount when block group reclaim task is running
CVE: CVE-2022-49702
Component: kernel
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2022-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix hang during unmount when block group reclaim task is running

When we start an unmount, at close_ctree(), if we have the reclaim task
running and in the middle of a data block group relocation, we can trigger
a deadlock when stopping an async reclaim task, producing a trace like the
following:

This happens because:

1) Before entering close_ctree() we have the async block group reclaim
   task running and relocating a data block group;

2) There's an async metadata (or data) space reclaim task running;

3) We enter close_ctree() and park the cleaner kthread;

4) The async space reclaim task is at flush_space() and runs all the
   existing delayed iputs;

5) Before the async space reclaim task calls
   btrfs_wait_on_delayed_iputs(), the block group reclaim task which is
   doing the data block group relocation, creates a delayed iput at
   replace_file_extents() (called when COWing leaves that have file extent
   items pointing to relocated data exten
