CVE-2023-53348

Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix deadlock when aborting transaction during relocation with scrub

Before relocating a block group we pause scrub, then do the relocation and then unpause scrub. The relocation process requires starting and committing a transaction, and if we have a failure in the critical section of the transaction commit path (transaction state >= TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START), we will deadlock if there is a paused scrub.

That results in stack traces like the following:
