CVE-2024-57896

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

btrfs: flush delalloc workers queue before stopping cleaner kthread during unmount

During the unmount path, at close_ctree(), we first stop the cleaner
kthread, using kthread_stop() which frees the associated task_struct, and
then stop and destroy all the work queues. However after we stopped the
cleaner we may still have a worker from the delalloc_workers queue running
inode.c:submit_compressed_extents(), which calls btrfs_add_delayed_iput(),
which in turn tries to wake up the cleaner kthread - which was already
destroyed before, resulting in a use-after-free on the task_struct.

Syzbot reported this with the following stack traces:
