CVE-2026-80734

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

btrfs: initialize inode mapping flags for cached inodes

[BUG]
When running generic/795 with 8K block size, 4K page size, the test
always fails, triggering some ASSERT()s related to folio size:

  795 (241074): drop_caches: 3
  assertion failed: IS_ALIGNED(start, blocksize) && IS_ALIGNED(end + 1, blocksize), in extent_io.c:1404 (blocksize=8192 root=262 ino=258 start=16826368 end=16830463 mapping min order=0)

The ASSERT() itself is added by a later patch.
The crash is triggered with that new debug patch, and without this fix.

[CAUSE]
In the above case, the start 16826368 is properly 8K aligned, but the
end (16830463 + 1) is not 8K aligned.
Furthermore the mapping's minimal folio order is 0, not the expected 1
for 8K block size with 4K page size.

So this means some inodes do not have btrfs_set_inode_mapping_order()
called on it.

The missing btrfs_set_inode_mapping_order() call happens for cached
inodes, through the following events:

- btrfs_create_new_inode() called for inode X
  Which properly sets minimal folio order for the VFS inode.

- btrfs_update_inode() called for inode X
  Which calls btrfs_delayed_update_inode() to create a delayed_node
  into root->delayed_nodes xarray.

- Drop cache/memory pressure, evicting in-memory inode X
  Which evicted the inode X, but delayed_node is still in
  root->delayed_nodes for future reuse.

- btrfs_iget() for inode X called again

  btrfs_iget()
  |- btrfs_iget_locked()
  |  |- iget5_locked_rcu()
  |     Which creates a new vfs_inode for btrfs, whose mapping still
  |     has the minimal order as 0.
  |
  |- btrfs_read_locked_inode()
     |- btrfs_fill_inode()
     |  |- btrfs_get_delayed_node()
     |     Which found out the previous node, and use that delayed
     |     node to initialize the new inode.
     |
     |- filled = true;
     |- if (filled) goto cache_index;
        Which skips the btrfs_update_inode_mapping_flags() and
	btrfs_set_inode_mapping_order() calls.
	So the inode still has minimal folio order set as 0, not
	the required 1.

Thus later page cache read will get a folio whose size is smaller than
block size, as the mapping has its minimal folio order set as 0 not 1,
then trigger the ASSERT().

[FIX]
Move the btrfs_update_inode_mapping_flags() and
btrfs_set_inode_mapping_order() calls under cache_index label,
so that the mapping flags and minimal folio order is always set
no matter if we have a cached inode.
