Title
btrfs: always detect conflicting inodes when logging inode refs
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: always detect conflicting inodes when logging inode refs After rename exchanging (either with the rename exchange operation or regular renames in multiple non-atomic steps) two inodes and at least one of them is a directory, we can end up with a log tree that contains only of the inodes and after a power failure that can result in an attempt to delete the other inode when it should not because it was not deleted before the power failure. In some case that delete attempt fails when the target inode is a directory that contains a subvolume inside it, since the log replay code is not prepared to deal with directory entries that point to root items (only inode items). 1) We have directories "dir1" (inode A) and "dir2" (inode B) under the same parent directory; 2) We have a file (inode C) under directory "dir1" (inode A); 3) We have a subvolume inside directory "dir2" (inode B); 4) All these inodes were persisted in a past transaction and we are currently at transaction N; 5) We rename the file (inode C), so at btrfs_log_new_name() we update inode C's last_unlink_trans to N; 6) We get a rename exchange for "dir1" (inode A) and "dir2" (inode B), so after the exchange "dir1" is inode B and "dir2" is inode A. During the rename exchange we call btrfs_log_new_name() for inodes A and B, but because they are directories, we don't update their last_unlink_trans to N; 7) An fsync against the file (inode C) is done, and because its inode has a last_unlink_trans with a value of N we log its parent directory (inode A) (through btrfs_log_all_parents(), called from btrfs_log_inode_parent()). 8) So we end up with inode B not logged, which now has the old name of inode A. At copy_inode_items_to_log(), when logging inode A, we did not check if we had any conflicting inode to log because inode A has a generation lower than the current transaction (created in a past transaction); 9) After a power failure, when replaying the log tree, since we find that inode A has a new name that conflicts with the name of inode B in the fs tree, we attempt to delete inode B... this is wrong since that directory was never deleted before the power failure, and because there is a subvolume inside that directory, attempting to delete it will fail since replay_dir_deletes() and btrfs_unlink_inode() are not prepared to deal with dir items that point to roots instead of inodes. When that happens the mount fails and we get a stack trace like the following: [87.2314] BTRFS info (device dm-0): start tree-log replay [87.2318] BTRFS critical (device dm-0): failed to delete reference to subvol, root 5 inode 256 parent 259 [87.2332] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [87.2338] BTRFS: Transaction aborted (error -2) [87.2346] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 638968 at fs/btrfs/inode.c:4345 __btrfs_unlink_inode+0x416/0x440 [btrfs] [87.2368] Modules linked in: btrfs loop dm_thin_pool (...)

The state can be recreated repeatedly so it remains pending when an unclean shutdown occurs.\nPR:N - ksmbd supports unauthenticated guest sessions, making the sequence reachable without credentials on a guest-writable share. No Linux capability is checked after the guest has ordinary delete and write access to the shared directory.\nUI:N - No victim action is required while the attacker constructs and persists the inconsistent log. Log replay normally occurs automatically during the next boot or mount after an unclean shutdown.\nS:U - The vulnerable logging and recovery operations affect resources managed by the same host kernel and Btrfs filesystem. No virtualization, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary is crossed.\nC:N - The flaw neither reads attacker-selected memory nor discloses filesystem or kernel data. The affected paths contain no use-after-free, out-of-bounds access, or other memory-corruption primitive.\nI:H - Replay can incorrectly unlink a legitimate conflicting directory and recursively orphan its ordinary contents, allowing severe filesystem data loss. The attacker controls the conflicting names and inode arrangement used by replay.\nA:H - If the wrongly removed directory contains a subvolume, replay aborts its transaction and the entire Btrfs filesystem fails to mount. This makes all data and services dependent on that filesystem unavailable."

En algunos casos, ese intento de eliminaci\u00f3n falla cuando el inodo de destino es un directorio que contiene un subvolumen dentro de \u00e9l, ya que el c\u00f3digo de reproducci\u00f3n del registro no est\u00e1 preparado para manejar entradas de directorio que apuntan a elementos ra\u00edz (solo elementos de inodo).  1) Tenemos directorios \u0027dir1\u0027 (inodo A) y \u0027dir2\u0027 (inodo B) bajo el mismo directorio padre;  2) Tenemos un archivo (inodo C) bajo el directorio \u0027dir1\u0027 (inodo A);  3) Tenemos un subvolumen dentro del directorio \u0027dir2\u0027 (inodo B);  4) Todos estos inodos fueron persistidos en una transacci\u00f3n pasada y actualmente estamos en la transacci\u00f3n N;  5) Renombramos el archivo (inodo C), as\u00ed que en btrfs_log_new_name() actualizamos el last_unlink_trans del inodo C a N;  6) Obtenemos un intercambio de renombre para \u0027dir1\u0027 (inodo A) y \u0027dir2\u0027 (inodo B), as\u00ed que despu\u00e9s del intercambio \u0027dir1\u0027 es el inodo B y \u0027dir2\u0027 es el inodo A.
