      ubifs: Fix journal replay wrt. xattr nodes · 4b878ede
      Richard Weinberger authored
      commit 1cb51a15 upstream.
      
      When replaying the journal it can happen that a journal entry points to
      a garbage collected node.
      This is the case when a power-cut occurred between a garbage collect run
      and a commit. In such a case nodes have to be read using the failable
      read functions to detect whether the found node matches what we expect.
      
      One corner case was forgotten, when the journal contains an entry to
      remove an inode all xattrs have to be removed too. UBIFS models xattr
      like directory entries, so the TNC code iterates over
      all xattrs of the inode and removes them too. This code re-uses the
      functions for walking directories and calls ubifs_tnc_next_ent().
      ubifs_tnc_next_ent() expects to be used only after the journal and
      aborts when a node does not match the expected result. This behavior can
      render an UBIFS volume unmountable after a power-cut when xattrs are
      used.
      
      Fix this issue by using failable read functions in ubifs_tnc_next_ent()
      too when replaying the journal.
      Fixes: 1e51764a ("UBIFS: add new flash file system")
