btrfs: fix transaction abort on set received ioctl due to item overflow
commit 87f2c46003fce4d739138aab4af1942b1afdadac upstream.
If the set received ioctl fails due to an item overflow when attempting to
add the BTRFS_UUID_KEY_RECEIVED_SUBVOL we have to abort the transaction
since we did some metadata updates before.
This means that if a user calls this ioctl with the same received UUID
field for a lot of subvolumes, we will hit the overflow, trigger the
transaction abort and turn the filesystem into RO mode. A malicious user
could exploit this, and this ioctl does not even requires that a user
has admin privileges (CAP_SYS_ADMIN), only that he/she owns the subvolume.
Fix this by doing an early check for item overflow before starting a
transaction. This is also race safe because we are holding the subvol_sem
semaphore in exclusive (write) mode.
A test case for fstests will follow soon.
