[merged mm-nonmm-stable] ocfs2-validate-suballoc-bit-during-inode-read.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: ocfs2: validate suballoc bit during inode read
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ocfs2-validate-suballoc-bit-during-inode-read.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: ocfs2: validate suballoc bit during inode read
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 20:52:19 +0800

i_suballoc_bit of a dinode is currently not validated at all.  A corrupted
dinode can carry an abnormally large i_suballoc_bit, which bypasses
ocfs2_validate_inode_block().  When the inode is deleted,
ocfs2_remove_inode() calls ocfs2_free_dinode(), which passes the
unvalidated bit to _ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits() and triggers BUG_ON((count
+ start_bit) > ocfs2_bits_per_group(cl)).

A suballocator block group bitmap is contained in a single block and
starts after the group descriptor header, so a valid suballoc bit must be
smaller than the number of bits fitting in the remaining space.  Reject
oversized i_suballoc_bit values during dinode validation.  The bound is
derived from ocfs2_group_bitmap_size() so it is also tight when
discontig_bg caps the suballocator bitmap at OCFS2_MAX_BG_BITMAP_SIZE.

Note the above check alone is not sufficient since the freeing path
compares the bit against ocfs2_bits_per_group(), which is derived from
cl_cpg/cl_bpc of the allocator dinode that is not validated against the
actual group capacity and can be artificially smaller on a corrupted
image.  Convert this BUG_ON in _ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits() to
ocfs2_error() as well.
