commit 236ebc20d9afc5e9ff52f3cf3f365a91583aac10 upstream.
During a rename whiteout, if btrfs_whiteout_for_rename() returns an error
we can end up returning from btrfs_rename() with the log context object
still in the root's log context list - this happens if 'sync_log' was
set to true before we called btrfs_whiteout_for_rename() and it is
dangerous because we end up with a corrupt linked list (root->log_ctxs)
as the log context object was allocated on the stack.
After btrfs_rename() returns, any task that is running btrfs_sync_log()
concurrently can end up crashing because that linked list is traversed by
btrfs_sync_log() (through btrfs_remove_all_log_ctxs()). That results in
the same issue that commit e6c617102c7e4 ("Btrfs: fix log context list
corruption after rename exchange operation") fixed.
Fixes: d4682ba03ef618 ("Btrfs: sync log after logging new name")

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.
