[PATCH] ext4: disallow files with EXT4_JOURNAL_DATA_FL from EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT

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

 



A malicious/clueless root user can use EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT to force a
corner casew which can lead to the file system getting corrupted.
There's no usefulness to allowing this, so just prohibit this case.
