CVE-2025-21942

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: zoned: fix extent range end unlock in cow_file_range() Running generic/751 on the for-next branch often results in a hang like below. They are both stack by locking an extent. This suggests someone forget to unlock an extent. INFO: task kworker/u128:1:12 blocked for more than 323 seconds.

When there is no active zone available, btrfs_reserve_extent() returns -EAGAIN. In this case, we have two reactions. (1) If the given range is never allocated, we can only wait for someone to finish a zone, so wait on BTRFS_FS_NEED_ZONE_FINISH bit and retry afterward. (2) Or, if some allocations are already done, we must bail out and let the caller to send IOs for the allocation. This is because these IOs may be necessary to finish a zone. The commit 06f364284794 ("btrfs: do proper folio cleanup when cow_file_range() failed") moved the unlock code from the inside of the loop to the outside. So, previously, the allocated extents are unlocked just after the allocation and so before returning from the function. However, they are no longer unlocked on the case (2) above. That caused the hang issue. Fix the issue by modifying the 'end' to the end of the allocated range. Then, we can exit the loop and the same unlock code can properly handle the case.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: btrfs: zoned: fix extent range end unlock in cow_file_range(). Ejecutar generic/751 en la rama for-next suele provocar un bloqueo como el que se muestra a continuación. Ambas se acumulan bloqueando una extensión. Esto sugiere que alguien olvidó desbloquear una extensión. INFORMACIÓN: La tarea kworker/u128:1:12 se bloqueó durante más de 323 segundos.

Cuando no hay ninguna zona activa disponible, btrfs_reserve_extent() devuelve -EAGAIN. En este caso, tenemos dos reacciones. (1) Si el rango dado nunca se asigna, solo podemos esperar a que alguien complete una zona, por lo que esperamos el bit BTRFS_FS_NEED_ZONE_FINISH y reintentamos después. (2) O bien, si ya se han realizado algunas asignaciones, debemos abandonar y dejar que el llamador envíe E/S para la asignación. Esto se debe a que estas E/S pueden ser necesarias para completar una zona. El commit 06f364284794 ("btrfs: realizar la limpieza de folio correcta cuando cow_file_range() falla") movió el código de desbloqueo del interior del bucle al exterior. Por lo tanto, antes, las extensiones asignadas se desbloqueaban justo después de la asignación y, por lo tanto, antes de regresar de la función. Sin embargo, ya no se desbloquean en el caso (2) mencionado. Esto causó el bloqueo. Para solucionar el problema, modifique "end" al final del rango asignado. De esta manera, podemos salir del bucle y el mismo código de desbloqueo puede gestionar el caso correctamente.
