[PATCH 0/2] xfs: add missing cursor status check after btree ops

[Eric Sandeen]

I've been looking at ways to reduce/eliminate the frequency of the:

	if (XFS_IS_CORRUPT(mp, i != 1)) {
		xfs_btree_mark_sick(cnt_cur);
		return -EFSCORRUPTED;
	}

idiom scattered all over the tree, and in doing so I realized we
have a few spots that probably /should/ have this checked but
don't. Sending these first to ease backporting if needed, though
what they should actually get for Fixes: isn't very clear to me as
this error handling has evolved over time I think.

I did run these through xfstests but I can't guarantee the change
was tested in any targeted way, so it's mostly inspection.

After these I'll send a series that floats the idea of removing this
idiom completely from btree insert/delete type fns because "stat" is
never different from "error" in practice, but that's a story for
another day and I need to do a bit more testing first.

Thanks,
-Eric

[PATCH 1/2] xfs: add missing cursor status check after xfs_get_rec

[Eric Sandeen]

The xfs_inobt_get_rec() call in xfs_ialloc_count_ondisk fails to check
the &has_record return - if the record is not found, the next
conditional will read an uninitialized  or stale irec. Fix that.

Yeah, we had better check has_record before using irec...

[PATCH 2/2] xfs: add missing cursor stat checks after xfs_btree_delete

[Eric Sandeen]

Three xfs_btree_delete() calls in xfs_ialloc.c fail to check the status
returns indicating whether a record was actually deleted. If the cursor
was pointing to something that couldn't be deleted or didn't exist,
something has gone wrong, so mark the fs as sick and return
EFSCORRUPTED.
