Subject: [PATCH 13/48] xfs: enforce zero length control records during recovery
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 17:01:03 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013060204.3138690-14-dgc@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013060204.3138690-1-dgc@kernel.org>

Start and commit records only bracket a transaction and carry no data of
their own, but recovery only asserted this for start records and did not check
it for commit records, so a corrupt non-zero length on either was accepted on
production builds.

Enforce the zero length for both in the operation header flag validation and
drop the now redundant assert.
