[PATCH 4.14 117/146] btrfs: relocation: set trans to be NULL after ending transaction

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Dec 04 2018 - 06:06:01 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@xxxxxxx>

commit 42a657f57628402c73237547f0134e083e2f6764 upstream.

The function relocate_block_group calls btrfs_end_transaction to release
trans when update_backref_cache returns 1, and then continues the loop
body. If btrfs_block_rsv_refill fails this time, it will jump out the
loop and the freed trans will be accessed. This may result in a
use-after-free bug. The patch assigns NULL to trans after trans is
released so that it will not be accessed.
