Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: qgroup: fix race between quota disable and quota rescan ioctl
There's a race between a task disabling quotas and another running the
rescan ioctl that can result in a use-after-free of qgroup records from
the fs_info->qgroup_tree rbtree.
This happens as follows:
1) Task A enters btrfs_ioctl_quota_rescan() -> btrfs_qgroup_rescan();
2) Task B enters btrfs_quota_disable() and calls
btrfs_qgroup_wait_for_completion(), which does nothing because at that
point fs_info->qgroup_rescan_running is false (it wasn't set yet by
task A);
3) Task B calls btrfs_free_qgroup_config() which starts freeing qgroups
from fs_info->qgroup_tree without taking the lock fs_info->qgroup_lock;
4) Task A enters qgroup_rescan_zero_tracking() which starts iterating
the fs_info->qgroup_tree tree while holding fs_info->qgroup_lock,
but task B is freeing qgroup records from that tree without holding
the lock, resulting
