CVE-2025-37856
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: harden block_group::bg_list against list_del() races
As far as I can tell, these calls of list_del_init() on bg_list cannot run concurrently with btrfs_mark_bg_unused() or btrfs_mark_bg_to_reclaim(), as they are in transaction error paths and situations where the block group is readonly.
However, if there is any chance at all of racing with mark_bg_unused(), or a different future user of bg_list, better to be safe than sorry.
Otherwise we risk the following interleaving (bg_list refcount in parens)
Ultimately, this results in a broken ref count that hits zero one deref early and the real final deref underflows the refcount, resulting in a WARNING.
