Summary
CVE-2025-71184 affecting package kernel 6.6.126.1-1
Details

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

btrfs: fix NULL dereference on root when tracing inode eviction

When evicting an inode the first thing we do is to setup tracing for it, which implies fetching the root's id. But in btrfsevictinode() the root might be NULL, as implied in the next check that we do in btrfsevictinode().

Hence, we either should set the ->root_objectid to 0 in case the root is NULL, or we move tracing setup after checking that the root is not NULL. Setting the rootid to 0 at least gives us the possibility to trace this call even in the case when the root is NULL, so that's the solution taken here.
