This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: abort transaction when sibling keys check fails for leaves to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: btrfs-abort-transaction-when-sibling-keys-check-fail.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1c872e7dcadbc90516212ef9fd6bf247465ef3b6 Author: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Apr 26 11:51:35 2023 +0100 btrfs: abort transaction when sibling keys check fails for leaves [ Upstream commit 9ae5afd02a03d4e22a17a9609b19400b77c36273 ] If the sibling keys check fails before we move keys from one sibling leaf to another, we are not aborting the transaction - we leave that to some higher level caller of btrfs_search_slot() (or anything else that uses it to insert items into a b+tree). This means that the transaction abort will provide a stack trace that omits the b+tree modification call chain. So change this to immediately abort the transaction and therefore get a more useful stack trace that shows us the call chain in the bt+tree modification code. It's also important to immediately abort the transaction just in case some higher level caller is not doing it, as this indicates a very serious corruption and we should stop the possibility of doing further damage.
