This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ext4: check if directory block is within i_size to the 5.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ext4-check-if-directory-block-is-within-i_size.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6770bf434d6a397d0ac1762555133b5cf6e7a3e8 Author: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 4 16:27:20 2022 +0200 ext4: check if directory block is within i_size [ Upstream commit 65f8ea4cd57dbd46ea13b41dc8bac03176b04233 ] Currently ext4 directory handling code implicitly assumes that the directory blocks are always within the i_size. In fact ext4_append() will attempt to allocate next directory block based solely on i_size and the i_size is then appropriately increased after a successful allocation. However, for this to work it requires i_size to be correct. If, for any reason, the directory inode i_size is corrupted in a way that the directory tree refers to a valid directory block past i_size, we could end up corrupting parts of the directory tree structure by overwriting already used directory blocks when modifying the directory. Fix it by catching the corruption early in __ext4_read_dirblock().
