Subject: nilfs2: fix infinite loop in nilfs_mdt_get_block()
From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@xxxxxxxxx>
commit a6a491c048882e7e424d407d32cba0b52d9ef2bf upstream.
If the disk image that nilfs2 mounts is corrupted and a virtual block
address obtained by block lookup for a metadata file is invalid,
nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level() may return the same internal return code as
-ENOENT, meaning the block does not exist in the metadata file.
This duplication of return codes confuses nilfs_mdt_get_block(), causing
it to read and create a metadata block indefinitely.
In particular, if this happens to the inode metadata file, ifile,
semaphore i_rwsem can be left held, causing task hangs in lock_mount.
Fix this issue by making nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level() treat virtual block
address translation failures with -ENOENT as metadata corruption instead
of returning the error code.
