Description

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

btrfs: zoned: allocate dummy checksums for zoned NODATASUM writes

Shin'ichiro reported that when he's running fstests' test-case
btrfs/167 on emulated zoned devices, he's seeing the following NULL
pointer dereference in 'btrfs_zone_finish_endio()':

Enabling CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT revealed the following assertion to
trigger:

assertion failed: !list_empty(&ordered->list), in fs/btrfs/zoned.c:1815

This indicates, that we're missing the checksums list on the
ordered_extent. As btrfs/167 is doing a NOCOW write this is to be
expected.

Further analysis with drgn confirmed the assumption:

>>> inode = prog.crashed_thread().stack_trace()[11]['ordered'].inode
>>> btrfs_inode = drgn.container_of(inode, "struct btrfs_inode", \
"vfs_inode")
>>> print(btrfs_inode.flags)
(u32)1

As zoned emulation mode simulates conventional zones on regular devices,
we cannot use zone-append for writing. But we're only attaching dummy
checksums if we're doing a zone-append write.

So for NOCOW zoned data writes on conventional zones, also attach a
dummy checksum.
