Subject: CVE-2023-52900: nilfs2: fix general protection fault in nilfs_btree_insert()

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

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

nilfs2: fix general protection fault in nilfs_btree_insert()

If nilfs2 reads a corrupted disk image and tries to reads a b-tree node
block by calling __nilfs_btree_get_block() against an invalid virtual
block address, it returns -ENOENT because conversion of the virtual block
address to a disk block address fails.  However, this return value is the
same as the internal code that b-tree lookup routines return to indicate
that the block being searched does not exist, so functions that operate on
that b-tree may misbehave.

When nilfs_btree_insert() receives this spurious 'not found' code from
nilfs_btree_do_lookup(), it misunderstands that the 'not found' check was
successful and continues the insert operation using incomplete lookup path
data, causing the following crash:

 general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address

This patch fixes the root cause of this problem by replacing the error
code that __nilfs_btree_get_block() returns on block address conversion
failure from -ENOENT to another internal code -EINVAL which means that the
b-tree metadata is corrupted.

By returning -EINVAL, it propagates without glitches, and for all relevant
b-tree operations, functions in the upper bmap layer output an error
message indicating corrupted b-tree metadata via
nilfs_bmap_convert_error(), and code -EIO will be eventually returned as
it should be.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52900 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:
