Directories are not allowed to be bigger than 2TB, so don't use i_size_high when reading the inode. E2fsck should complain about these inodes, but the simplest thing to do for the kernel is simply to not consult i_size_high for directory inodes. This prevents an intentially corrupted filesystem from causing the kernel to burn a huge amount of CPU and issuing error messages such as: EXT4-fs warning (device loop0): ext4_block_to_path: block 135090028 > max Thanks to David Maciejak from Fortinet's FortiGuard Global Security Research Team for reporting this issue. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12375 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@xxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx --- fs/ext4/ext4.h | 7 +++++-- fs/ext4/inode.c | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/ext4.h b/fs/ext4/ext4.h index c668e43..42396a6 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/ext4.h +++ b/fs/ext4/ext4.h @@ -1206,8 +1206,11 @@ static inline void ext4_r_blocks_count_set(struct ext4_super_block *es, static inline loff_t ext4_isize(struct ext4_inode *raw_inode) { - return ((loff_t)le32_to_cpu(raw_inode->i_size_high) << 32) | - le32_to_cpu(raw_inode->i_size_lo); + if (S_ISDIR(le16_to_cpu(raw_inode->i_mode))) + return (loff_t) le32_to_cpu(raw_inode->i_size_lo); + else + return ((loff_t)le32_to_cpu(raw_inode->i_size_high) << 32) | + le32_to_cpu(raw_inode->i_size_lo); } static inline void ext4_isize_set(struct ext4_inode *raw_inode, loff_t i_size) diff --git a/fs/ext4/inode.c b/fs/ext4/inode.c index a6444ce..49484ba 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/inode.c +++ b/fs/ext4/inode.c @@ -360,9 +360,9 @@ static int ext4_block_to_path(struct inode *inode, final = ptrs; } else { ext4_warning(inode->i_sb, "ext4_block_to_path", - "block %lu > max", + "block %lu > max in inode %lu", i_block + direct_blocks + - indirect_blocks + double_blocks); + indirect_blocks + double_blocks, inode->i_ino); } if (boundary) *boundary = final - 1 - (i_block & (ptrs - 1)); -- 1.6.0.4.8.g36f27.dirty -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
