Subject: CVE-2021-47343: dm btree remove: assign new_root only when removal succeeds

Description
===========

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

dm btree remove: assign new_root only when removal succeeds

remove_raw() in dm_btree_remove() may fail due to IO read error
(e.g. read the content of origin block fails during shadowing),
and the value of shadow_spine::root is uninitialized, but
the uninitialized value is still assign to new_root in the
end of dm_btree_remove().

For dm-thin, the value of pmd->details_root or pmd->root will become
an uninitialized value, so if trying to read details_info tree again
out-of-bound memory may occur as showed below:

  general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x3fdcb14c8d7520

Fixing it by only assign new_root when removal succeeds

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-47343 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
