2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: "Theodore Ts'o" (cherry picked from commit 485c26ec70f823f2a9cf45982b724893e53a859e) If the block containing external extended attributes (which is stored in i_file_acl and i_file_acl_high) is larger than the on-disk filesystem, the process which tried to access the extended attributes will endlessly issue kernel printks complaining that "__find_get_block_slow() failed", locking up that CPU until the system is forcibly rebooted. So when we read in the inode, make sure the i_file_acl value is legal, and if not, flag the filesystem as being corrupted.
