Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] btrfs: abort transaction on unexpected eb generation at btrfs_copy_root()
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2025 21:34:31 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250819013431.249337-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025081821-debating-askew-bf1e@gregkh>

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

[ Upstream commit 33e8f24b52d2796b8cfb28c19a1a7dd6476323a8 ]

If we find an unexpected generation for the extent buffer we are cloning
at btrfs_copy_root(), we just WARN_ON() and don't error out and abort the
transaction, meaning we allow to persist metadata with an unexpected
generation. Instead of warning only, abort the transaction and return
-EUCLEAN.
