Subject: CVE-2024-57806: btrfs: fix transaction atomicity bug when enabling simple quotas

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

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

btrfs: fix transaction atomicity bug when enabling simple quotas

Set squota incompat bit before committing the transaction that enables
the feature.

With the config CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT enabled, an assertion
failure occurs regarding the simple quota feature.

  [5.596534] assertion failed: btrfs_fs_incompat(fs_info, SIMPLE_QUOTA), in fs/btrfs/qgroup.c:365

The issue can be easily reproduced using the following reproducer:

  root@q:linux# cat repro.sh
  set -e

  mkfs.btrfs -q -f /dev/sdb
  mount /dev/sdb /mnt/btrfs
  btrfs quota enable -s /mnt/btrfs
  umount /mnt/btrfs
  mount /dev/sdb /mnt/btrfs

The issue is that when enabling quotas, at btrfs_quota_enable(), we set
BTRFS_QGROUP_STATUS_FLAG_SIMPLE_MODE at fs_info->qgroup_flags and persist
it in the quota root in the item with the key BTRFS_QGROUP_STATUS_KEY, but
we only set the incompat bit BTRFS_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_SIMPLE_QUOTA after we
commit the transaction used to enable simple quotas.

This means that if after that transaction commit we unmount the filesystem
without starting and committing any other transaction, or we have a power
failure, the next time we mount the filesystem we will find the flag
BTRFS_QGROUP_STATUS_FLAG_SIMPLE_MODE set in the item with the key
BTRFS_QGROUP_STATUS_KEY but we will not find the incompat bit
BTRFS_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_SIMPLE_QUOTA set in the superblock, triggering an
assertion failure at:

  btrfs_read_qgroup_config() -> qgroup_read_enable_gen()

To fix this issue, set the BTRFS_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_SIMPLE_QUOTA flag
immediately after setting the BTRFS_QGROUP_STATUS_FLAG_SIMPLE_MODE.
This ensures that both flags are flushed to disk within the same
transaction.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-57806 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/b87c9b9ba05ba6e8e2ee9ecd29a8c930b35648ed
