This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit 5e1021f2b6dff1a86a468a1424d59faae2bc63c1 upstream.
ext4_reserve_inode_write() in ext4_mark_inode_dirty() could fail on
error (e.g. EIO) and iloc.bh can be NULL in this case. But the error is
ignored in the following "if" condition and ext4_expand_extra_isize()
might be called with NULL iloc.bh set, which triggers NULL pointer
dereference.
This is uncovered by commit 8b4953e13f4c ("ext4: reserve code points for
the project quota feature"), which enlarges the ext4_inode size, and
run the following script on new kernel but with old mke2fs:
#/bin/bash
mnt=/mnt/ext4
devname=ext4-error
dev=/dev/mapper/$devname
fsimg=/home/fs.img
trap cleanup 0 1 2 3 9 15
cleanup()
{
umount $mnt >/dev/null 2>&1
dmsetup remove $devname
losetup -d $backend_dev
rm -f $fsimg
exit 0
}
rm -f $fsimg
fallocate -l 1g $fsimg
backend_dev=`losetup -f --show $fsimg`
devsize=`blockdev --getsz $backend_dev`
good_tab="0 $devsize linear $backend_dev 0"
error_tab="0 $devsize error $backend_dev 0"
dmsetup create $devname --table "$good_tab"
mkfs -t ext4 $dev
mount -t ext4 -o errors=continue,strictatime $dev $mnt
dmsetup load $devname --table "$error_tab" && dmsetup resume $devname
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
ls -l $mnt
exit 0
