CVE-2022-48901

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

btrfs: do not start relocation until in progress drops are done

We hit a bug with a recovering relocation on mount for one of our file
systems in production. I reproduced this locally by injecting errors
into snapshot delete with balance running at the same time. This
presented as an error while looking up an extent item

Normally snapshot deletion and relocation are excluded from running at
the same time by the fs_info->cleaner_mutex. However if we had a
pending balance waiting to get the ->cleaner_mutex, and a snapshot
deletion was running, and then the box crashed, we would come up in a
state where we have a half deleted snapshot.

Again, in the normal case the snapshot deletion needs to complete before
relocation can start, but in this case relocation could very well start
before the snapshot deletion completes, as we simply add the root to the
dead roots list and wait for the next time the cleaner runs to clean up
the snapshot.

Fix this by setting a bit on the fs_info if we have any DEAD_ROOT’s that
had a pending drop_progress key. If they do then we know we were in the
middle of the drop operation and set a flag on the fs_info. Then
balance can wait until this flag is cleared to start up again.

If there are DEAD_ROOT’s that don’t have a drop_progress set then we’re
safe to start balance right away as we’ll be properly protected by the
cleaner_mutex.
