Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix crash due to getting bogus eh_depth value
Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:49:52 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111212104952.GA14659@bloggs.ozlabs.ibm.com> (raw)
Commit 1939dd84b3 ("ext4: cleanup ext4_ext_grow_indepth code") added a
reference to ext4_extent_header.eh_depth, but forget to pass the value
read through le16_to_cpu. The result is a crash on big-endian
machines, such as this crash on a POWER7 server:

This is due to getting ext_depth(inode) == 0x101 and therefore running
off the end of the path array in ext4_ext_drop_refs into following
unallocated structures.
This fixes it by adding the necessary le16_to_cpu.
