[PATCH] ext4: update last_pos for the case ext4_htree_fill_tree return fail

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

 



Or the ls for ext4 dir can run into a deadloop since info->last_pos !=
ctx->pos which will reset the world and start read the entry which has
already got before. Details see below:

1. a dx_dir which has 3 block, block 0 as dx_root block, block 1/2 as
   leaf block which own the ext4_dir_entry_2
2. block 1 read ok and call_filldir which will fill the dirent and update
   the ctx->pos
3. block 2 read fail, but we has already fill some dirent, so we will
   return back to userspace will a positive return val(see ksys_getdents64)
4. the second ext4_dx_readdir will reset the world since info->last_pos
   != ctx->pos, and will also init the curr_hash which pos to block 1
5. So we will read block1 too, and once block2 still read fail, we can
   only fill one dirent because the hash of the entry in block1(besides
   the last one) won't greater than curr_hash
6. this time, we forget update last_pos too since the read for block2
   will fail, and since we has got the one entry, ksys_getdents64 can
   return success
7. Latter we will trapped in a loop with step 4~6

Fix it by update last_pos too once ext4_htree_fill_tree return fail.
