Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: reject refs=0 subvolume without DEAD in SUBVOL_SYNC_WAIT
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 11:02:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261025180258.349175-1-teel4res@gmail.com> (raw)

A crafted image can leave a tree-root ROOT_ITEM with refs==0 and without
BTRFS_ROOT_SUBVOL_DEAD, plus a matching orphan item.  Mount accepts it,
and btrfs_ioctl_subvol_sync() then reaches

  ASSERT(root_flags & BTRFS_ROOT_SUBVOL_DEAD, ...)

which is BUG() on CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT=y.

Return -EUCLEAN instead of asserting, and log the inconsistent state.

The ioctl BUG was reproduced in 2/4 baseline boots (the other two lost
a race to the same image's unrelated cleaner WARN).  With this change
the ioctl returns -EUCLEAN and no BUG; a normal btrfs mount/write/
readback/check regression passes.
