Subject: Re: [PATCH] jfs: fix array-index-out-of-bounds in dbFindLeaf

Actually I was talking about the stree attribute of dmtree which is 
present in both dmaptree and dmapctl.

Link : https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.5.1/source/fs/jfs/jfs_dmap.h#L168

Since it is an array we can add a check for the size of array like the 
code below.


+            if (x + n > (sizeof(tp->dmt_stree)/sizeof(s8)))
+                 return -ENOSPC;
