The following commit introduced a bug when checking for zero length extent 5946d08 ext4: check for overlapping extents in ext4_valid_extent_entries() Zero length extent could pass the check if lblock is zero. Adding the explicit check for zero length back. Signed-off-by: Eryu Guan <guaneryu@xxxxxxxxx> --- This is uncovered by recent updates for encryption, catting a file with zero length extent results in infinite loop ext4_mpage_readpages(), and process cannot be killed either. Tested with corrupted ext4 image in e2fsprogs sources, cat returned EIO correctly tests/f_ext_zero_len/image.gz fs/ext4/extents.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/extents.c b/fs/ext4/extents.c index d74e0802..451b92a 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/extents.c +++ b/fs/ext4/extents.c @@ -377,7 +377,7 @@ static int ext4_valid_extent(struct inode *inode, struct ext4_extent *ext) ext4_lblk_t lblock = le32_to_cpu(ext->ee_block); ext4_lblk_t last = lblock + len - 1; - if (lblock > last) + if (len == 0 || lblock > last) return 0; return ext4_data_block_valid(EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb), block, len); } -- 1.8.3.1 -- 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
