The quilt patch titled
Subject: ocfs2: reject dinodes whose i_rdev disagrees with the file type
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
ocfs2-reject-dinodes-whose-i_rdev-disagrees-with-the-file-type.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: reject dinodes whose i_rdev disagrees with the file type
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 07:04:03 -0400
id1.dev1.i_rdev is the device-number arm of the ocfs2_dinode id1 union.
It is only meaningful for character and block device inodes. For any
other user-visible file type the on-disk value must be zero.
ocfs2_populate_inode() currently copies id1.dev1.i_rdev into inode->i_rdev
before the S_IFMT switch decides whether the inode is a special file. A
non-device inode with a non-zero i_rdev can therefore publish stale or
attacker-controlled device state into the in-core inode.
System inodes legitimately use other arms of the same union, so keep the
cross-check restricted to non-system inodes. Factor that predicate into a
helper and use it in both the normal validator and online filecheck path;
filecheck reports the malformed dinode through
OCFS2_FILECHECK_ERR_INVALIDINO instead of ocfs2_error().
