CVE-2024-43885 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix double inode unlock for direct IO sync writes

If we do a direct IO sync write at btrfs_sync_file() and we need to skip inode logging or we get an error starting a transaction or an error when flushing delalloc we end up unlocking the inode when we shouldn’t under the ‘out_release_extents’ label and then unlock it again at btrfs_direct_write().

Fix that by checking if we have to skip inode unlocking under that label.
