[PATCH v3 3.18.y 0/3] 4.17-rc1 stable tagged ext4 patches

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

 



These are all the ext4 patches that were tagged for -stable and failed
to apply to 3.18.y.

Patch e40ff2138985 ("ext4: force revalidation of directory pointer after seekdir(2)")
was Cc'd to stable as well but it requires commmit ae5e165d855d
("fs: new API for handling inode->i_version") to be applied as well
which is neither a stable candidate nor under 100 lines so I've skipped e40ff2138985.
If somebody can suggest a backport of the commit which doesn't require ae5e165d855d, I'll
be glad.

Theodore Ts'o (3):
  ext4: add validity checks for bitmap block numbers
  ext4: fail ext4_iget for root directory if unallocated
  ext4: don't allow r/w mounts if metadata blocks overlap the superblock
