Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 1/2] ocfs2: validate dx_root extent list fields during block read
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 06:43:03 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909104304.1557880-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090341-laundry-deceiving-d857@gregkh>
From: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@linux.alibaba.com>
[ Upstream commit 775c17386a6fd695f999d4cda90e3931386570dd ]
Patch series "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read
callbacks".
ocfs2 validates extent list fields (l_count, l_next_free_rec) at various
points during extent tree traversal. This is fragile because each caller
must remember to check for corrupted on-disk data before using it.
This series moves those checks into the block read validation callbacks
(ocfs2_validate_dx_root and ocfs2_validate_extent_block), so corrupted
fields are caught early at block read time. Redundant post-read checks
are then removed.
This patch (of 4):
Move the extent list l_count validation from ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec()
into ocfs2_validate_dx_root(), so that corrupted on-disk fields are caught
early at block read time rather than during directory lookups.
Additionally, add a l_next_free_rec <= l_count check to prevent
out-of-bounds access when iterating over extent records.
Both checks are skipped for inline dx roots (OCFS2_DX_FLAG_INLINE), which
use dr_entries instead of dr_list.
