Technical Description

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

btrfs: don't take dev_replace rwsem on task already holding it

Running fstests btrfs/011 with MKFS_OPTIONS="-O rst" to force the usage of

the RAID stripe-tree, we get the following splat from lockdep:

BTRFS info (device sdd): dev_replace from /dev/sdd (devid 1) to /dev/sdb started

============================================

WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
