There are many places that will get unhappy (and crash) when ext4_iget() returns a bad inode. However, if iget the boot loader inode, allows a bad inode to be returned, because the inode may not be initialized. This mechanism can be used to bypass some checks and cause panic. To solve this problem, we add a special iget flag EXT4_IGET_BAD. Only with this flag we'd be returning bad inode from ext4_iget(), otherwise we always return the error code if the inode is bad inode.(suggested by Jan Kara) Signed-off-by: Baokun Li<libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ext4/ext4.h | 3 ++- fs/ext4/inode.c | 8 +++++++- fs/ext4/ioctl.c | 3 ++- 3 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
