4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Pan Bian <bianpan2...@163.com>
commit 42a657f57628402c73237547f0134e083e2f6764 upstream.
The function relocate_block_group calls btrfs_end_transaction to release
trans when update_backref_cache returns 1, and then continues the loop
body. If btrfs_block_rsv_refill fails this time, it will jump out the
loop and the freed trans will be accessed. This may result in a
use-after-free bug. The patch assigns NULL to trans after trans is
released so that it will not be accessed.
Fixes: 0647bf564f1 ("Btrfs: improve forever loop when doing balance relocation")
