Subject: CVE-2021-47510: btrfs: fix re-dirty process of tree-log nodes

Description
===========

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

btrfs: fix re-dirty process of tree-log nodes

There is a report of a transaction abort of -EAGAIN with the following
script.

  #!/bin/sh

  for d in sda sdb; do
          mkfs.btrfs -d single -m single -f /dev/\${d}
  done

  mount /dev/sda /mnt/test
  mount /dev/sdb /mnt/scratch

  for dir in test scratch; do
          echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
          fio --directory=/mnt/\${dir} --name=fio.\${dir} --rw=read --size=50G --bs=64m \
                  --numjobs=$(nproc) --time_based --ramp_time=5 --runtime=480 \
                  --group_reporting |& tee /dev/shm/fio.\${dir}
          echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
  done

  for d in sda sdb; do
          umount /dev/\${d}
  done

The stack trace is shown in below.

  [3310.968214] BTRFS: error (device sda) in cleanup_transaction:1946: errno=-11 unknown

The abort occurs because of a write hole while writing out freeing tree
nodes of a tree-log tree. For zoned btrfs, we re-dirty a freed tree
node to ensure btrfs can write the region and does not leave a hole on
write on a zoned device. The current code fails to re-dirty a node
when the tree-log tree's depth is greater or equal to 2. That leads to
a transaction abort with -EAGAIN.

Fix the issue by properly re-dirtying a node on walking up the tree.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-47510 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
