Jason reported that a corrupted filesystem failed to replay the log with a metadata block out of bounds warning: XFS (dm-2): _xfs_buf_find: Block out of range: block 0x80270fff8, EOFS 0x9c40000 _xfs_buf_find() and xfs_btree_get_bufs() return NULL if that happens, and then when xfs_alloc_fix_freelist() calls xfs_trans_binval() on that NULL bp, we oops with: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000f8 We don't handle _xfs_buf_find errors very well, every caller higher up the stack gets to guess at why it failed. But we should at least handle it somehow. I chose EIO here for lack of a better idea. :) Reported-by: Jason L Tibbitts III <tibbs@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx> --- diff --git a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c index effb64c..d125135 100644 --- a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c +++ b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c @@ -1640,6 +1640,10 @@ STATIC int xfs_alloc_ag_vextent_small(xfs_alloc_arg_t *, bp = xfs_btree_get_bufs(args->mp, args->tp, args->agno, fbno, 0); + if (!bp) { + error = -EIO; + goto error0; + } xfs_trans_binval(args->tp, bp); } args->len = 1; @@ -2185,6 +2189,10 @@ STATIC int xfs_alloc_ag_vextent_small(xfs_alloc_arg_t *, if (error) goto out_agbp_relse; bp = xfs_btree_get_bufs(mp, tp, args->agno, bno, 0); + if (!bp) { + error = -EIO; + goto out_agbp_relse; + } xfs_trans_binval(tp, bp); } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
