CVE-2026-90260: high-severity vulnerability in Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: zoned: don't clobber the extent buffer when zeroing it out On a zoned filesystem a freed-but-still-dirty tree block is written out as zeros (EXTENT_BUFFER_ZONED_ZEROOUT) only to keep the zone write pointer advancing. btree_csum_one_bio() implemented this by memzeroing the extent buffer's own folios before submission. That destroys the in-memory buffer while it may still be referenced. In particular btrfs_free_tree_block() can run on it afterwards and reads the header to add a delayed reference; once the header has been zeroed it frees bytenr 0 and corrupts the extent tree (the btrfs_header_bytenr(buf) != 0 ASSERT in btrfs_free_tree_block(), or an "unable to find ref" abort). It is flaky and reproduces under fsstress, e.g. generic/461 and generic/013. Write the zeros to disk from the shared zero page instead and leave the extent buffer content untouched, so any later reference - including the delayed reference from btrfs_free_tree_block() - still sees a valid header. end_bbio_meta_write() now clears writeback on the buffer's own folios, as the bio no longer carries them.
