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

btrfs: fix assertion of exclop condition when starting balance

Balance as exclusive state is compatible with paused balance and device
add, which makes some things more complicated. The assertion of valid
states when starting from paused balance needs to take into account two
more states, the combinations can be hit when there are several threads
racing to start balance and device add. This won't typically happen when
the commands are started from command line.

Scenario 1: With exclusive_operation state == BTRFS_EXCLOP_NONE.

Concurrently adding multiple devices to the same mount point and
btrfs_exclop_finish executed finishes before assertion in
btrfs_exclop_balance, exclusive_operation will changed to
BTRFS_EXCLOP_NONE state which lead to assertion failed:

fs_info->exclusive_operation == BTRFS_EXCLOP_BALANCE ||
fs_info->exclusive_operation == BTRFS_EXCLOP_DEV_ADD,
in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c:456
Call Trace:

Scenario 2: With exclusive_operation state == BTRFS_EXCLOP_BALANCE_PAUSED.

Concurrently adding multiple devices to the same mount point and
btrfs_exclop_balance executed finish before the latter thread execute
assertion in btrfs_exclop_balance, exclusive_operation will changed to
BTRFS_EXCLOP_BALANCE_PAUSED state which lead to assertion failed:

fs_info->exclusive_operation == BTRFS_EXCLOP_BALANCE ||
fs_info->exclusive_operation == BTRFS_EXCLOP_DEV_ADD ||
fs_info->exclusive_operation == BTRFS_EXCLOP_NONE,
fs/btrfs/ioctl.c:458
Call Trace:

An example of the failed assertion is below, which shows that the
paused balance is also needed to be checked.
