From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> If a malicious filesystem image contains a block+ format directory wherein the directory inode's core.mode is set such that S_ISDIR(core.mode) == 0, and if there are subdirectories of the corrupted directory, an attempt to traverse up the directory tree will crash the kernel in __xfs_dir3_data_check. Running the online scrub's parent checks will tend to do this. The crash occurs because the directory inode's d_ops get set to xfs_dir[23]_nondir_ops (it's not a directory) but the parent pointer scrubber's indiscriminate call to xfs_readdir proceeds past the ASSERT if we have non fatal asserts configured. Fix the null pointer dereference crash in __xfs_dir3_data_check by looking for S_ISDIR or NULL data_entry_p; and teach the parent scrubber to bail out if it is fed a non-directory "parent".
