Anand Jain 4e380c50cf btrfs: btrfs_shrink_device should call commit transaction at the end
[ Upstream commit 801660b040 ]

Test case btrfs/164 reports use-after-free:

[ 6712.084324] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
..
[ 6712.195423]  btrfs_update_commit_device_size+0x75/0xf0 [btrfs]
[ 6712.201424]  btrfs_commit_transaction+0x57d/0xa90 [btrfs]
[ 6712.206999]  btrfs_rm_device+0x627/0x850 [btrfs]
[ 6712.211800]  btrfs_ioctl+0x2b03/0x3120 [btrfs]

Reason for this is that btrfs_shrink_device adds the resized device to
the fs_devices::resized_devices after it has called the last commit
transaction.

So the list fs_devices::resized_devices is not empty when
btrfs_shrink_device returns.  Now the parent function
btrfs_rm_device calls:

        btrfs_close_bdev(device);
        call_rcu(&device->rcu, free_device_rcu);

and then does the transactio ncommit. It goes through the
fs_devices::resized_devices in btrfs_update_commit_device_size and
leads to use-after-free.

Fix this by making sure btrfs_shrink_device calls the last needed
btrfs_commit_transaction before the return. This is consistent with what
the grow counterpart does and this makes sure the on-disk state is
persistent when the function returns.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
