> DESCRIPTION

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: Sep 07 11:52:00 debian9 unknown: run fstests generic/562 at 2022-09-07 11:52:00 Sep 07 11:55:32 debian9 kernel: INFO: task umount:49438 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

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---
