commit ce99494c9699df58b31d0a839e957f86cd58c755 upstream.
xfs_verifier_error is supposed to be called on a corrupt metadata buffer
from within a buffer verifier function, whereas xfs_buf_mark_corrupt
is the function to be called when a piece of code has read a buffer and
catches something that a read verifier cannot. The first function sets
b_error anticipating that the low level buffer handling code will see
the nonzero b_error and clear XBF_DONE on the buffer, whereas the second
function does not.
Since xfs_dir3_free_header_check examines fields in the dir free block
header that require more context than can be provided to read verifiers,
we must call xfs_buf_mark_corrupt when it finds a problem.
Switching the calls has a secondary effect that we no longer corrupt the
buffer state by setting b_error and leaving XBF_DONE set. When /that/
happens, we'll trip over various state assertions (most commonly the
b_error check in xfs_buf_reverify) on a subsequent attempt to read the
buffer.
Fixes: bc1a09b8e334bf5f ("xfs: refactor verifier callers to print address of failing check")
