Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: only release the dirty pages io tree after successful writes
[WARNING]
With extra warning on dirty extent buffers at umount (aka, the next
patch in the series), test case generic/388 can trigger the following
warning about dirty extent buffers at unmount time:
BTRFS critical (device dm-2 state E): emergency shutdown
BTRFS error (device dm-2 state E): error while writing out transaction: -30
BTRFS warning (device dm-2 state E): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.
BTRFS error (device dm-2 state EA): Transaction 9 aborted (error -30)
BTRFS: error (device dm-2 state EA) in cleanup_transaction:2068: errno=-30 Readonly filesystem
BTRFS info (device dm-2 state EA): forced readonly
