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

btrfs: fix hang during unmount when stopping a space reclaim worker

Often when running generic/562 from fstests we can hang during unmount, resulting in a trace like this:

What happens is the following:

1) The cleaner kthread tries to start a transaction to delete an unused block group, but the metadata reservation can not be satisfied right away, so a reservation ticket is created and it starts the async metadata reclaim task (fs_info->async_reclaim_work);

2) Writeback for all the filler inodes with an i_size of 2K starts (generic/562 creates a lot of 2K files with the goal of filling metadata space). We try to create an inline extent for them, but we fail when trying to insert the inline extent with -ENOSPC (at cow_file_range_inline()) - since this is not critical, we fallback to non-inline mode (back to cow_file_range()), reserve extents ---truncated---
