CVE-2025-37904
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix the inode leak in btrfs_iget()
[BUG] There is a bug report that a syzbot reproducer can lead to the following busy inode at unmount time:
[CAUSE] When btrfs_alloc_path() failed, btrfs_iget() directly returned without releasing the inode already allocated by btrfs_iget_locked().
This results the above busy inode and trigger the kernel BUG.
[FIX] Fix it by calling iget_failed() if btrfs_alloc_path() failed.
If we hit error inside btrfs_read_locked_inode(), it will properly call iget_failed(), so nothing to worry about.
Although the iget_failed() cleanup inside btrfs_read_locked_inode() is a break of the normal error handling scheme, let's fix the obvious bug and backport first, then rework the error handling later.

Esto genera el inodo ocupado mencionado anteriormente y activa el error del kernel. [SOLUCIÓN] Corríjalo llamando a iget_failed() si btrfs_alloc_path() fallaba. Si encontramos un error en btrfs_read_locked_inode(), se llamará correctamente a iget_failed(), así que no hay de qué preocuparse. Aunque la limpieza de iget_failed() dentro de btrfs_read_locked_inode() supone una ruptura del esquema normal de gestión de errores, primero corregiremos el error obvio y lo adaptaremos a la versión anterior, y luego reescribiremos la gestión de errores."
