Subject: CVE-2024-57975: btrfs: do proper folio cleanup when run_delalloc_nocow() failed

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

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

btrfs: do proper folio cleanup when run_delalloc_nocow() failed

[BUG]
With CONFIG_DEBUG_VM set, test case generic/476 has some chance to crash
with the following VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO():

  ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

[CAUSE]
The first two lines of extra debug messages show the problem is caused
by the error handling of run_delalloc_nocow().

E.g. we have the following dirtied range (4K blocksize 4K page size):

    0                 16K                  32K
    |//////////////////////////////////////|
    |  Pre-allocated  |

And the range [0, 16K) has a preallocated extent.

- Enter run_delalloc_nocow() for range [0, 16K)
  Which found range [0, 16K) is preallocated, can do the proper NOCOW
  write.

- Enter fallback_to_fow() for range [16K, 32K)
  Since the range [16K, 32K) is not backed by preallocated extent, we
  have to go COW.

- cow_file_range() failed for range [16K, 32K)
  So cow_file_range() will do the clean up by clearing folio dirty,
  unlock the folios.

  Now the folios in range [16K, 32K) is unlocked.

- Enter extent_clear_unlock_delalloc() from run_delalloc_nocow()
  Which is called with PAGE_START_WRITEBACK to start page writeback.
  But folios can only be marked writeback when it's properly locked,
  thus this triggered the VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO().

Furthermore there is another hidden but common bug that
run_delalloc_nocow() is not clearing the folio dirty flags in its error
handling path.
This is the common bug shared between run_delalloc_nocow() and
cow_file_range().

[FIX]
- Clear folio dirty for range [@start, @cur_offset)
  Introduce a helper, cleanup_dirty_folios(), which
  will find and lock the folio in the range, clear the dirty flag and
  start/end the writeback, with the extra handling for the
  @locked_folio.

- Introduce a helper to clear folio dirty, start and end writeback

- Introduce a helper to record the last failed COW range end
  This is to trace which range we should skip, to avoid double
  unlocking.

- Skip the failed COW range for the error handling

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/5ae72abbf91eb172ce3a838a4dc34be3c9707296
