Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: get rid of warning on transaction commit when using flushoncommit

When using the flushoncommit mount option, during almost every transaction commit we trigger a warning from __writeback_inodes_sb_nr():

$ cat fs/fs-writeback.c: (...) static void __writeback_inodes_sb_nr(struct super_block *sb, ... { (...) WARN_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&sb->s_umount)); (...) } (...)

The trace produced in dmesg looks like the following:
