Under btrfs_is_full_ro(), mark the\nreserve as full and return before performing the accounting.\n\nAnd since we need to check if the fs is mount fully RO, export\nfs_is_full_ro() as btrfs_is_full_ro(), and move it to fs.h.\n\n[ Squash the fs_is_full_ro() export commit into this one. ]","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/076349e4c8d11f6b58c4549976a513b2b4dc6df2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3a69fae2371a5ee190d4c4bbe5304a753558c1c6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/51a0e8399858621442807a26057bcd1cd3ced046","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/969a96479add6bd42d7f7241f99f27b31571a953","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ca05d9abde2195cec3d07d0d4d65152d8171078f"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-74571","score":0.00209,"percentile":0.10911,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
