[patch added to 3.12-stable] ext4: add sanity checking to count_overhead()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit c48ae41bafe31e9a66d8be2ced4e42a6b57fa814 upstream.

The commit "ext4: sanity check the block and cluster size at mount
time" should prevent any problems, but in case the superblock is
modified while the file system is mounted, add an extra safety check
to make sure we won't overrun the allocated buffer.
