Subject: [PATCH v4] ocfs2: Add validate function for slot map blocks
When the filesystem is being mounted, the kernel panics while the data
regarding slot map allocation to the local node, is being written to the
disk. This occurs because the value of slot map buffer head block
number, which should have been greater than or equal to
`OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO` (evaluating to 2) is less than it, indicative
of disk metadata corruption. This triggers
BUG_ON(bh->b_blocknr < OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO) in ocfs2_write_block(),
causing the kernel to panic.
This is fixed by introducing function ocfs2_validate_slot_map_block() to
validate slot map blocks. It first checks if the buffer head passed to it
is up to date and valid, else it panics the kernel at that point itself.
Further, it contains an if condition block, which checks if `bh->b_blocknr`
is lesser than `OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO`; if yes, then ocfs2_error is
called, which prints the error log, for debugging purposes, and the return
value of ocfs2_error() is returned. If the if condition is false, value 0
is returned by ocfs2_validate_slot_map_block().
This function is used as validate function in calls to ocfs2_read_blocks()
in ocfs2_refresh_slot_info() and ocfs2_map_slot_buffers().

v3->v4:
- Remove if condition in ocfs2_validate_slot_map_block() which checks if
`rc` is zero
- Update commit log message
v3 link: https://lore.kernel.org/ocfs2-devel/tagu2npibmto5bgonhorg5krbvqho4zxsv5pulvgbtp53aobas@6qk4twoysbnz/T/#m6f357a93c9426c3d2f0c2d18d71f4c54601089ec
v2->v3:
- Create new function ocfs2_validate_slot_map_block() to validate block
number of slot map blocks, to be greater then or equal to
OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO
- Use ocfs2_validate_slot_map_block() in calls to ocfs2_read_blocks() in
ocfs2_refresh_slot_info() and ocfs2_map_slot_buffers()
- In addition to using previously formulated if block in
ocfs2_validate_slot_map_block(), also check if the buffer head passed
in this function is up to date; if not, then kernel panics at that point
- Update title of patch to 'ocfs2: Add validate function for slot map blocks'
v2 link: https://lore.kernel.org/ocfs2-devel/nwkfpkm2wlajswykywnpt4sc6gdkesakw2sw7etuw2u2w23hul@6oby33bscwdw/T/#m39bc7dbb208e09a78e0913905c6dfdfd666f3a05
v1->v2:
- Remove usage of le16_to_cpu() from ocfs2_error()
- Cast bh->b_blocknr to unsigned long long
- Remove type casting for OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO
- Fix Sparse warnings reported in v1 by kernel test robot
- Update title from 'ocfs2: Fix kernel BUG in ocfs2_write_block' to
'ocfs2: fix kernel BUG in ocfs2_write_block'
