Subject: [PATCH] fsck.erofs: fix xattr verification being skipped during extraction
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 19:45:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316194551.32141-1-singhutkal015@gmail.com> (raw)

When fsck.erofs is invoked with both --extract and --xattrs,
erofs_verify_xattr() is currently skipped due to a logic error:

  if (!(fsckcfg.check_decomp && fsckcfg.dump_xattrs))
          erofs_verify_xattr(&inode);

This means xattr integrity is never verified when the user requests
xattr extraction, which defeats the purpose of the check.

Additionally, erofsfsck_dump_xattrs() is unnecessarily gated on
check_decomp, so --xattrs has no effect unless --check is also
passed, which is wrong.

Fix by always running erofs_verify_xattr() unconditionally, and
decouple erofsfsck_dump_xattrs() from check_decomp so that
--xattrs works correctly in both extraction and dump-only modes.

The ordering is preserved: file creation, then xattr application,
then permission/ownership restoration via erofsfsck_set_attributes().
