CVE-2025-38034 — btrfs: correct the order of prelim_ref arguments in btrfs__prelim_ref

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: correct the order of prelim_ref arguments in btrfs__prelim_ref

btrfs_prelim_ref() calls the old and new reference variables in the incorrect order. This causes a NULL pointer dereference because oldref is passed as NULL to trace_btrfs_prelim_ref_insert().

Note, trace_btrfs_prelim_ref_insert() is being called with newref as oldref (and oldref as NULL) on purpose in order to print out the values of newref.

To reproduce: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/btrfs/btrfs_prelim_ref_insert/enable

Perform some writeback operations.
