This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: handle invalid root reference found in may_destroy_subvol() to the 5.4-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-handle-invalid-root-reference-found-in-may_des.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6901235e32bc4282eeb22ebdcfab84d0e23dda9b Author: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 24 22:58:01 2024 +0100 btrfs: handle invalid root reference found in may_destroy_subvol() [ Upstream commit 6fbc6f4ac1f4907da4fc674251527e7dc79ffbf6 ] The may_destroy_subvol() looks up a root by a key, allowing to do an inexact search when key->offset is -1. It's never expected to find such item, as it would break the allowed range of a root id.
