Subject: CVE-2024-42305: ext4: check dot and dotdot of dx_root before making dir indexed

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: check dot and dotdot of dx_root before making dir indexed

Syzbot reports a issue as follows:
============================================
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffed11022e24fe
PGD 23ffee067 P4D 23ffee067 PUD 0
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI

============================================

The immediate cause of this problem is that there is only one valid dentry
for the block to be split during do_split, so split==0 results in out of
bounds accesses to the map triggering the issue.

    do_split
      unsigned split
      dx_make_map
       count = 1
      split = count/2 = 0;
      continued = hash2 == map[split - 1].hash;
       ---> map[4294967295]

The maximum length of a filename is 255 and the minimum block size is 1024,
so it is always guaranteed that the number of entries is greater than or
equal to 2 when do_split() is called.

But syzbot's crafted image has no dot and dotdot in dir, and the dentry
distribution in dirblock is as follows:

  bus     dentry1          hole           dentry2           free
|xx--|xx-------------|...............|xx-------------|...............|
0   12 (8+248)=256  268     256     524 (8+256)=264 788     236     1024

So when renaming dentry1 increases its name_len length by 1, neither hole
nor free is sufficient to hold the new dentry, and make_indexed_dir() is
called.

In make_indexed_dir() it is assumed that the first two entries of the
dirblock must be dot and dotdot, so bus and dentry1 are left in dx_root
because they are treated as dot and dotdot, and only dentry2 is moved
to the new leaf block. That's why count is equal to 1.

Therefore add the ext4_check_dx_root() helper function to add more sanity
checks to dot and dotdot before starting the conversion to avoid the above
issue.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-42305 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
