A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in the btrfs_reclaim_bgs_work() function where a block group might be erroneously added simultaneously to both the reclaim list and the unused list by another operation. This can lead to list corruption where the block group is present in two separate lists which can cause kernel crashes.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 are not affected by this vulnerability as btrfs is not shipped as part of RHEL.
