This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: send: handle path ref underflow in header iterate_inode_ref() to the 6.8-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-send-handle-path-ref-underflow-in-header-itera.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 86d194c9ed026f0293956eff0b01cd9357577f07 Author: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Feb 6 22:47:13 2024 +0100 btrfs: send: handle path ref underflow in header iterate_inode_ref() [ Upstream commit 3c6ee34c6f9cd12802326da26631232a61743501 ] Change BUG_ON to proper error handling if building the path buffer fails. The pointers are not printed so we don't accidentally leak kernel addresses.
