Subject: CVE-2024-50217: btrfs: fix use-after-free of block device file in __btrfs_free_extra_devids()

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

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

btrfs: fix use-after-free of block device file in __btrfs_free_extra_devids()

Mounting btrfs from two images (which have the same one fsid and two
different dev_uuids) in certain executing order may trigger an UAF for
variable 'device->bdev_file' in __btrfs_free_extra_devids(). And
following are the details:

1. Attach image_1 to loop0, attach image_2 to loop1, and scan btrfs
   devices by ioctl(BTRFS_IOC_SCAN_DEV):

             /  btrfs_device_1 → loop0
   fs_device
             \  btrfs_device_2 → loop1
2. mount /dev/loop0 /mnt
   btrfs_open_devices
    btrfs_device_1->bdev_file = btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb(loop0)
    btrfs_device_2->bdev_file = btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb(loop1)
   btrfs_fill_super
    open_ctree
     fail: btrfs_close_devices // -ENOMEM
	    btrfs_close_bdev(btrfs_device_1)
             fput(btrfs_device_1->bdev_file)
	      // btrfs_device_1->bdev_file is freed
	    btrfs_close_bdev(btrfs_device_2)
             fput(btrfs_device_2->bdev_file)

3. mount /dev/loop1 /mnt
   btrfs_open_devices
    btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb(&bdev_file)
     // EIO, btrfs_device_1->bdev_file is not assigned,
     // which points to a freed memory area
    btrfs_device_2->bdev_file = btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb(loop1)
   btrfs_fill_super
    open_ctree
     btrfs_free_extra_devids
      if (btrfs_device_1->bdev_file)
       fput(btrfs_device_1->bdev_file) // UAF !

Fix it by setting 'device->bdev_file' as 'NULL' after closing the
btrfs_device in btrfs_close_one_device().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-50217 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:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/47a83f8df39545f3f552bb6a1b6d9c30e37621dd
