Subject: btree: fix tree corruption in btree_get_prev()
From: Roland Dreier <[email protected]>
commit cbf8ae32f66a9ceb8907ad9e16663c2a29e48990 upstream.
The memory the parameter __key points to is used as an iterator in
btree_get_prev(), so if we save off a bkey() pointer in retry_key and
then assign that to __key, we'll end up corrupting the btree internals
when we do eg
longcpy(__key, bkey(geo, node, i), geo->keylen);
to return the key value. What we should do instead is use longcpy() to
copy the key value that retry_key points to __key.
This can cause a btree to get corrupted by seemingly read-only
operations such as btree_for_each_safe.
