Patch series "ocfs2: bound-check both readdir re-validation scans", v2.


This patch (of 2):

When the inode version changed since the last readdir(),
ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_el() re-scans the directory block from its start to
relocate the current position:

	for (i = 0; i < sb->s_blocksize && i < offset; ) {
		de = (struct ocfs2_dir_entry *)(bh->b_data + i);
		if (le16_to_cpu(de->rec_len) < OCFS2_DIR_REC_LEN(1))
			break;
		i += le16_to_cpu(de->rec_len);
	}

i walks the block on rec_len values taken from the block itself and the
only thing tested is that rec_len is not too small, so a single bogus
rec_len leaves i anywhere in the block, including its last
OCFS2_DIR_REC_LEN(1) - 1 bytes.  @offset comes from ctx->pos, which
userspace moves with lseek() on the directory fd, and decides how far the
walk gets.

Two bounds are missing, both of which ocfs2_check_dir_entry() applies for
the emit loop below.

de->rec_len sits at byte offset 8 within the entry, so dereferencing de in
that tail reads past the s_blocksize buffer.  ocfs2_check_dir_entry()
declines to look at an entry that close to the end:

	size - buf_offset < OCFS2_DIR_REC_LEN(1)

Nothing bounds i += rec_len either, so i can end up past the block.  The
emit loop that follows is guarded by offset < sb->s_blocksize and does not
run, but

	offset = i;
	ctx->pos = (ctx->pos & ~((loff_t)sb->s_blocksize - 1)) | offset;

runs first and ORs a value with bits above the block mask into ctx->pos,
corrupting the block number readdir() resumes from. 
ocfs2_check_dir_entry() rejects that as "directory entry overrun":

	next_offset = buf_offset + rlen;
	... next_offset > size

Apply both bounds.  For a consistent directory this changes nothing:
entries are at least OCFS2_DIR_REC_LEN(1) bytes and do not cross the end
of the block, so no valid entry is skipped.

Found by the sashiko review tool; fix approach suggested by Joseph Qi.
