Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2016 12:39:44 +0200 From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> To: Ted Tso <tytso@....edu> Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, Dave Chinner <david@...morbit.com>, Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> Subject: [PATCH 0/11] ext4: Fix inode expansion code Hello, this patch series fixes code expanding size of inode. That code has been seriously buggy and I think it has never worked for other case than expanding legacy 128-byte inodes to larger ones. This patch series fixes all the issues I have found and passes xfstest test I have written to excercise the code. First four patches in the series fix the most serious issues leading to crashes, memory, and possibly filesystem corruption. I have tagged these for stable kernels since 4.4 (where the new inode field has been introduced and started triggering issues in the inode expansion code). The fifth patch also fixes a functional issue where we may unnecessarily fail to expand inode, or may move too many xattrs but this issue is not so serious and I don't expect it to happen too much in practice (since we usually expand only by a couple of bytes) so I didn't tag it for stable. Remaining patches in the series cleanup the code by removing bogus checks, unused variables, and factoring out the large inode expanding function into several smaller ones.
