Minimal supplement to upstream Kernel Self Protection Project changes. Features already provided by SELinux + Yama and archs other than multiarch arm64 / x86_64 aren't in scope. Only tags have stable history. Shared IRC channel with KSPP: irc.libera.chat #linux-hardening

We have a race between enabling quotas end subvolume creation that cause
subvolume creation to fail with -EINVAL, and the following diagram shows
how it happens:
CPU 0 CPU 1
btrfs_ioctl()
btrfs_ioctl_quota_ctl()
btrfs_quota_enable()
mutex_lock(fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock)
btrfs_ioctl()
create_subvol()
btrfs_qgroup_inherit()
-> save fs_info->quota_root
into quota_root
-> stores a NULL value
-> tries to lock the mutex
qgroup_ioctl_lock
-> blocks waiting for
the task at CPU0
-> sets BTRFS_FS_QUOTA_ENABLED in fs_info
-> sets quota_root in fs_info->quota_root
(non-NULL value)
mutex_unlock(fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock)
-> checks quota enabled
flag is set
-> returns -EINVAL because
fs_info->quota_root was
NULL before it acquired
the mutex
qgroup_ioctl_lock
-> ioctl returns -EINVAL
Returning -EINVAL to user space will be confusing if all the arguments
passed to the subvolume creation ioctl were valid.
Fix it by grabbing the value from fs_info->quota_root after acquiring
the mutex.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
