Summary

In the Linux kernel, the Btrfs filesystem on zoned disks has a deadlock during data relocation. The relocation process waits on a space reservation ticket that can never be fulfilled because the relocation itself is responsible for freeing that space. The fix introduces a new flush state that uses priority_reclaim_data_space() instead of the normal path to avoid the deadlock.

Risk Assessment

Deadlock can lead to system hang or inability to perform disk operations. This may affect data availability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that resolves the deadlock during data relocation on zoned filesystems.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: zoned: fix deadlock waiting for ticket during data relocation When performing data relocation on a zoned filesystem, BTRFS can deadlock in handle_reserve_tickets(). The relocation process is waiting on a space reservation ticket that can never be fulfilled, because the relocation itself is the operation responsible for freeing up that space. Fix this by introducing a new flush state, BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_ZONED_RELOCATION, specifically for data chunk allocation during zoned relocation. Like BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_FREE_SPACE_INODE, this state uses priority_reclaim_data_space() instead of the normal flushing path, which avoids re-entering the relocation code and breaking the deadlock cycle. In btrfs_alloc_data_chunk_ondemand(), select this new flush state when the inode belongs to a data relocation root on a zoned filesystem.
