Description

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

btrfs: do not clear page dirty inside extent_write_locked_range()

[BUG]
For subpage + zoned case, the following workload can lead to rsv data
leak at unmount time:

# mkfs.btrfs -f -s 4k $dev
# mount $dev $mnt
# fsstress -w -n 8 -d $mnt -s 1709539240
0/0: fiemap - no filename
0/1: copyrange read - no filename
0/2: write - no filename
0/3: rename - no source filename
0/4: creat f0 x:0 0 0
0/4: creat add id=0,parent=-1
0/5: writev f0[259 1 0 0 0 0] [778052,113,965] 0
0/6: ioctl(FIEMAP) f0[259 1 0 0 224 887097] [1294220,2291618343991484791,0x10000] -1
0/7: dwrite - xfsctl(XFS_IOC_DIOINFO) f0[259 1 0 0 224 887097] return 25, fallback to stat()
0/7: dwrite f0[259 1 0 0 224 887097] [696320,102400] 0
# umount $mnt

The dmesg includes the following rsv leak detection warning (all call
trace skipped):

Above $dev is a tcmu-runner emulated zoned HDD, which has a max zone
append size of 64K, and the system has 64K page size.

[CAUSE]
I have added several trace_printk() to show the events (header skipped):

> btrfs_dirty_pages: r/i=5/259 dirty start=774144 len=114688
> btrfs_dirty_pages: r/i=5/259 dirty part of page=720896 off_in_page=53248 len_in_page=12288
> btrfs_dirty_pages: r/i=5/259 dirty part of page=786432 off_in_page=0 len_in_page=65536
> btrfs_dirty_pages: r/i=5/259 dirty part of page=851968 off_in_page=0 len_in_page=36864

The above lines show our buffered write has dirtied 3 pages of inode
259 of root 5:

704K 768K 832K 896K
I |////I/////////////////I///////////| I
756K 868K

|///| is the dirtied range using subpage bitmaps. and 'I' is the page
boundary.

Meanwhile all three pages (704K, 768K, 832K) have their PageDirty
flag set.

> btrfs_direct_write: r/i=5/259 start dio filepos=696320 len=102400

Then direct IO writ
