Detail

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

btrfs: zoned: traverse devices under chunk_mutex in btrfs_can_activate_zone

btrfs_can_activate_zone() can be called with the device_list_mutex already held, which will lead to a deadlock:

insert_dev_extents() // Takes device_list_mutex `-> insert_dev_extent()
`-> btrfs_insert_empty_item()
`-> btrfs_insert_empty_items()
`-> btrfs_search_slot()
`-> btrfs_cow_block()
`-> __btrfs_cow_block()
`-> btrfs_alloc_tree_block()
`-> btrfs_reserve_extent()
`-> find_free_extent()
`-> find_free_extent_update_loop()
`-> can_allocate_chunk()
`-> btrfs_can_activate_zone() // Takes device_list_mutex again

Instead of using the RCU on fs_devices->device_list we can use fs_devices->alloc_list, protected by the chunk_mutex to traverse the list of active devices.

We are in the chunk allocation thread. The newer chunk allocation happens from the devices in the fs_device->alloc_list protected by the chunk_mutex.

btrfs_create_chunk()
lockdep_assert_held(&info->chunk_mutex);
gather_device_info
list_for_each_entry(device, &fs_devices->alloc_list, dev_alloc_list)

Also, a device that reappears after the mount won't join the alloc_list yet and, it will be in the dev_list, which we don't want to consider in the context of the chunk alloc.
