Subject: CVE-2022-49702: btrfs: fix hang during unmount when block group reclaim task is running

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

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

btrfs: fix hang during unmount when block group reclaim task is running

When we start an unmount, at close_ctree(), if we have the reclaim task
running and in the middle of a data block group relocation, we can trigger
a deadlock when stopping an async reclaim task, producing a trace like the
following:

This happens because:

1) Before entering close_ctree() we have the async block group reclaim
   task running and relocating a data block group;

2) There's an async metadata (or data) space reclaim task running;

3) We enter close_ctree() and park the cleaner kthread;

4) The async space reclaim task is at flush_space() and runs all the
   existing delayed iputs;

5) Before the async space reclaim task calls
   btrfs_wait_on_delayed_iputs(), the block group reclaim task which is
   doing the data block group relocation, creates a delayed iput at
   replace_file_extents() (called when COWing leaves that have file extent
   items pointing to relocated data extents, during the merging phase
   of relocation roots);

6) The async reclaim space reclaim task blocks at
   btrfs_wait_on_delayed_iputs(), since we have a new delayed iput;

7) The task at close_ctree() then calls cancel_work_sync() to stop the
   async space reclaim task, but it blocks since that task is waiting for
   the delayed iput to be run;

8) The delayed iput is never run because the cleaner kthread is parked,
   and no one else runs delayed iputs, resulting in a hang.

So fix this by stopping the async block group reclaim task before we
park the cleaner kthread.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49702 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:
