Subject: CVE-2025-37827: btrfs: zoned: return EIO on RAID1 block group write pointer mismatch

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

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

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

btrfs: zoned: return EIO on RAID1 block group write pointer mismatch

There was a bug report about a NULL pointer dereference in
__btrfs_add_free_space_zoned() that ultimately happens because a
conversion from the default metadata profile DUP to a RAID1 profile on two
disks.

The stack trace has the following signature:

  BTRFS error (device sdc): zoned: write pointer offset mismatch of zones in raid1 profile
  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000058

The 1st line is the most interesting here:

 BTRFS error (device sdc): zoned: write pointer offset mismatch of zones in raid1 profile

When a RAID1 block-group is created and a write pointer mismatch between
the disks in the RAID set is detected, btrfs sets the alloc_offset to the
length of the block group marking it as full. Afterwards the code expects
that a balance operation will evacuate the data in this block-group and
repair the problems.

But before this is possible, the new space of this block-group will be
accounted in the free space cache. But in __btrfs_add_free_space_zoned()
it is being checked if it is a initial creation of a block group and if
not a reclaim decision will be made. But the decision if a block-group's
free space accounting is done for an initial creation depends on if the
size of the added free space is the whole length of the block-group and
the allocation offset is 0.

But as btrfs_load_block_group_zone_info() sets the allocation offset to
the zone capacity (i.e. marking the block-group as full) this initial
decision is not met, and the space_info pointer in the 'struct
btrfs_block_group' has not yet been assigned.

Fail creation of the block group and rely on manual user intervention to
re-balance the filesystem.

Afterwards the filesystem can be unmounted, mounted in degraded mode and
the missing device can be removed after a full balance of the filesystem.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-37827 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:
