Message-ID: <49B18CAB.5020605@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 06 Mar 2009 14:50:51 -0600 From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com> To: ext4 development <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org> CC: David Dindorp <ddi@...ex.dk> Subject: [PATCH] fix header check in ext4_ext_search_right() for deep extent trees. This should resolve kernel.org bugzilla 12821 I've not actually crafted a workload to exercise this code; this is from inspection... The ext4_ext_search_right() function is confusing; it uses a "depth" variable which is 0 at the root and maximum at the leaves, but the on-disk metadata uses a "depth" (actually eh_depth) which is opposite: maximum at the root, and 0 at the leaves. The ext4_ext_check_header() function is given a depth and checks the header agaisnt that depth; it expects the on-disk semantics, but we are giving it the opposite in the while loop in this function. We should be giving it the on-disk notion of "depth" which we can get from (p_depth - depth) - and if you look, the last (more commonly hit) call to ext4_ext_check_header() does just this. Sending in the wrong depth results in (incorrect) messages about corruption: EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_ext_search_right: bad header in inode #2621457: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 340, max 340(0), depth 1(2) Reported-by: David Dindorp <ddi@...ex.dk> Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com> -- Index: linux-2.6/fs/ext4/extents.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/fs/ext4/extents.c +++ linux-2.6/fs/ext4/extents.c @@ -1122,7 +1122,8 @@ ext4_ext_search_right(struct inode *inod struct ext4_extent_idx *ix; struct ext4_extent *ex; ext4_fsblk_t block; - int depth, ee_len; + int depth; /* Note, NOT eh_depth; depth from top of tree */ + int ee_len; BUG_ON(path == NULL); depth = path->p_depth; @@ -1179,7 +1180,8 @@ got_index: if (bh == NULL) return -EIO; eh = ext_block_hdr(bh); - if (ext4_ext_check_header(inode, eh, depth)) { + /* subtract from p_depth to get proper eh_depth */ + if (ext4_ext_check_header(inode, eh, path->p_depth - depth)) { put_bh(bh); return -EIO; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
