Description

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

btrfs: skip reserved bytes warning on unmount after log cleanup failure

After the recent changes made by commit c2e39305299f01 ("btrfs: clear
extent buffer uptodate when we fail to write it") and its followup fix,
commit 651740a5024117 ("btrfs: check WRITE_ERR when trying to read an
extent buffer"), we can now end up not cleaning up space reservations of
log tree extent buffers after a transaction abort happens, as well as not
cleaning up still dirty extent buffers.

This happens because if writeback for a log tree extent buffer failed,
then we have cleared the bit EXTENT_BUFFER_UPTODATE from the extent buffer
and we have also set the bit EXTENT_BUFFER_WRITE_ERR on it. Later on,
when trying to free the log tree with free_log_tree(), which iterates
over the tree, we can end up getting an -EIO error when trying to read
a node or a leaf, since read_extent_buffer_pages() returns -EIO if an
extent buffer does not have EXTENT_BUFFER_UPTODATE set and has the
EXTENT_BUFFER_WRITE_ERR bit set. Getting that -EIO means that we return
immediately as we can not iterate over the entire tree.

In that case we never update the reserved space for an extent buffer in
the respective block group and space_info object.

When this happens we get the following traces when unmounting the fs:
