Message-Id: <1348512100-23323-1-git-send-email-cmaiolino@redhat.com>

Subject: [PATCH] ext4: ext4_bread usage audit
Audit the usage of ext4_bread() due a possible misinterpretion of its return
value.
Focused on directory blocks, a NULL value returned from ext4_bread() means a
hole, which cannot exist into a directory inode. It can pass undetected after a
fix in an uninitialized error variable.
The (now) initialized variable into ext4_getblk() may lead to a zero'ed return
value of ext4_bread() to its callers, which can make the caller do not detect
the hole in the directory inode.
This checks for directory holes when buffer_head and error value are both
zero'ed returning -EIO to their callers
Some ext4_bread callers do not needed any changes either because they already
had its own hole detector paths or because these are deprecaded (like
dx_show_entries)
