[PATCH] Endianness bugs in e2fsck

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In ext2fs_swap_inode_full() if to and from inodes are not the same (which is the case when called from e2fsck_get_next_inode_full), then e2fsck cannot recognize any in-inode EAs since the un-swabbed i_extra_isize was being used. So corrected that to use swabbed values all the time.

Also in ext2fs_read_inode_full(), ext2fs_swap_inode_full() should be called with bufsize instead of with length argument. length was coming out to be 128 even with 512 byte inodes thus leaving the rest of the inode unswabbed.

On big-endian machines, ext2fs_get_next_inode_full() calls this for copying the inode:
ext2fs_swap_inode_full(scan->fs,
		       (struct ext2_inode_large *) inode,
		       (struct ext2_inode_large *) scan->ptr,
			0, bufsize);
In ext2fs_swap_inode_full() only the first (GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE + i_extra_isize)bytes are copied into inode. The rest of the inode is not zeroed. So memset the inode to zero if swapfs is enabled. On little endian machines, memcpy(inode, scan->ptr, bufsize); is executed thereby hiding this error.
