Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: prevent deleting the wrong subvolume by ID
When deleting a subvolume by ID, btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy() first
resolves the requested ID to a name, then looks up that name again
under the parent directory lock.
A concurrent rename can change which subvolume is associated with
the name between these operations. Since the deletion path does not
verify the ID of the resolved subvolume, it can delete a different
subvolume while leaving the requested one intact.
This was reproduced by repeatedly exchanging the names of two
subvolumes using renameat2(RENAME_EXCHANGE) while deleting one of
them by ID. The wrong subvolume was deleted in 9 out of 14 independent
tests.
Fix this by checking that the resolved subvolume ID matches the
requested ID while holding the parent directory lock. Return -EAGAIN
on a mismatch so that userspace can retry the operation instead of
being told that the requested subvolume does not exist.
Fixes: 949964c92843 ("btrfs: add new BTRFS_IOC_SNAP_DESTROY_V2 ioctl")
