[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: ocfs2: validate fast symlink target during inode read
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ocfs2-validate-fast-symlink-target-during-inode-read.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: ocfs2: validate fast symlink target during inode read
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 23:12:30 +0800

ocfs2_validate_inode_block() already rejects several inconsistent
self-contained dinodes before they are exposed to the rest of the
filesystem.  Fast symlinks need the same treatment.

A zero-cluster symlink is treated as a fast symlink and later read through
page_get_link() and ocfs2_fast_symlink_read_folio().  That path uses
strnlen() on the inline payload and then copies len + 1 bytes into the
folio.  If a corrupt dinode stores an i_size that does not fit the inline
area or omits the terminating NUL at i_size, that copy reads past the end
of the inode block buffer.

Reject zero-cluster symlink dinodes whose i_size exceeds the inline
fast-symlink capacity or whose inline payload is not NUL-terminated
exactly at i_size when the inode block is validated.  This keeps malformed
fast symlinks from reaching the read path.
