Wong" <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2017 15:13:58 -0800 Subject: xfs: fail _dir_open when readahead fails From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 7a652bbe366464267190c2792a32ce4fff5595ef upstream. When we open a directory, we try to readahead block 0 of the directory on the assumption that we're going to need it soon. If the bmbt is corrupt, the directory will never be usable and the readahead fails immediately, so we might as well prevent the directory from being opened at all. This prevents a subsequent read or modify operation from hitting it and taking the fs offline. NOTE: We're only checking for early failures in the block mapping, not the readahead directory block itself. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
