Description

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

btrfs: zlib: fix avail_in bytes for s390 zlib HW compression path

Since the input data length passed to zlib_compress_folios() can be
arbitrary, always setting strm.avail_in to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE may
cause read-in bytes to exceed the input range. Currently this triggers
an assert in btrfs_compress_folios() on the debug kernel (see below).
Fix strm.avail_in calculation for S390 hardware acceleration path.

assertion failed: *total_in <= orig_len, in fs/btrfs/compression.c:1041
