Subject: [PATCH] ext4: check for zero length extent
Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2012 16:46:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1331498791-2455-1-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)
Explicitly test for an extent whose length is zero, and flag that as a
corrupted extent.
This avoids a kernel BUG_ON assertion failure.
Tested: Without this patch, the file system image found in
tests/f_ext_zero_len/image.gz in the latest e2fsprogs sources causes a
kernel panic. With this patch, an ext4 file systmem error is noted
instead, and the file system is marked as being corrupted.
