commit c853a5783ebe123847886d432354931874367292 upstream.
Instead of using kmalloc() to allocate btrfs_ioctl_defrag_range_args,
allocate btrfs_ioctl_defrag_range_args on stack, the size is reasonably
small and ioctls are called in process context.
sizeof(btrfs_ioctl_defrag_range_args) = 48

[ This patch is needed to fix a memory leak of "range" that was
introduced when commit 173431b274a9 ("btrfs: defrag: reject unknown
flags of btrfs_ioctl_defrag_range_args") was backported to kernels
lacking this patch. Now with these two patches applied in reverse order,
range->flags needed to change back to range.flags.
This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis
Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.]

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.
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.
