ext4: avoid declaring fs inconsistent due to invalid file handles
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878098 commit 8a363970 upstream. If we receive a file handle, either from NFS or open_by_handle_at(2), and it points at an inode which has not been initialized, and the file system has metadata checksums enabled, we shouldn't try to get the inode, discover the checksum is invalid, and then declare the file system as being inconsistent. This can be reproduced by creating a test file system via "mke2fs -t ext4 -O metadata_csum /tmp/foo.img 8M", mounting it, cd'ing into that directory, and then running the following program. #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <fcntl.h> struct handle { struct file_handle fh; unsigned char fid[MAX_HANDLE_SZ]; }; int main(int argc, char **argv) { struct handle h = {{8, 1 }, { 12, }}; open_by_handle_at(AT_FDCWD, &h.fh, O_RDONLY); return 0; } Google-Bug-Id: 120690101 Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ashwin H <ashwinh@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ian May <ian.may@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Kleber Sacilotto de Souza <kleber.souza@canonical.com>
