Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: don't propagate EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING to split extent maps
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 12:58:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <77d71e99f792c80c4841b33ed07530543dca897a.1782849374.git.loemra.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
When btrfs_drop_extent_map_range() splits an extent map, the new split
maps inherit the original map's flags through a local 'flags' variable.
Commit f86f7a75e2fb ("btrfs: use the flags of an extent map to identify
the compression type") changed the EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING clearing to
operate on em->flags instead of that local 'flags' copy, so a split of
an extent map that is currently being logged wrongly inherits
EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING.
The flag is then never cleared on the split, and when it is freed while
still on the inode's modified_extents list (for example by the extent
map shrinker) it trips the WARN_ON(!list_empty(&em->list)) in
btrfs_free_extent_map() and leads to a use-after-free.
Clear EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING from the local 'flags' copy used for the
splits and only clear EXTENT_FLAG_PINNED from em->flags, restoring the
behaviour prior to f86f7a75e2fb.
Fixes: f86f7a75e2fb ("btrfs: use the flags of an extent map to identify the compression type")
