Subject: [PATCH] ext4: check for zero length extent explicitly
Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 18:14:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1430734468-31785-1-git-send-email-guaneryu@gmail.com> (raw)
The following commit introduced a bug when checking for zero length extent
5946d08 ext4: check for overlapping extents in ext4_valid_extent_entries()
Zero length extent could pass the check if lblock is zero.
Adding the explicit check for zero length back.
Signed-off-by: Eryu Guan <guaneryu@gmail.com>

This is uncovered by recent updates for encryption, catting a file with zero
length extent results in infinite loop ext4_mpage_readpages(), and process
cannot be killed either.
Tested with corrupted ext4 image in e2fsprogs sources, cat returned EIO
correctly
