This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: export: handle invalid inode or root reference in btrfs_get_parent() to the 5.10-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-export-handle-invalid-inode-or-root-reference-.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 12ed198bd7f763e25056ae6ec47021e45bc163a9 Author: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jan 19 21:19:18 2024 +0100 btrfs: export: handle invalid inode or root reference in btrfs_get_parent() [ Upstream commit 26b66d1d366a375745755ca7365f67110bbf6bd5 ] The get_parent handler looks up a parent of a given dentry, this can be either a subvolume or a directory. The search is set up with offset -1 but it's never expected to find such item, as it would break allowed range of inode number or a root id. This means it's a corruption (ext4 also returns this error code).
