1375cb65 xfs: growfs: don't read garbage for new secondary superblocks

we ran the risk of allowing garbage in secondary superblocks
beyond the in-use sb fields.  With kernels 3.10 and beyond, the
verifiers will kick these out as invalid, but xfs_repair does
not detect or repair this condition.

There is superblock stale-data zeroing code, but it is under a
narrow conditional - the bug addressed in the above commit did not
meet that conditional.  So change this to check unconditionally.

Further, the checking code was looking at the in-memory
superblock buffer, which was zeroed prior to population, and
would therefore never possibly show any stale data beyond the
last up-rev superblock field.

So instead, check the disk buffer for this garbage condition.

If we detect garbage, we must zero out both the in-memory sb
and the disk buffer; the former may contain unused data
in up-rev sb fields which will be written back out; the latter
may contain garbage beyond all fields, which won't be updated
when we translate the in-memory sb back to disk.

The V4 superblock case was zeroing out the sb_bad_features2
field; we also fix that to leave that field alone.

Lastly, use offsetof() instead of the tortured (__psint_t)
casts & pointer math.

Michael - this will need slight tweaking to apply against
older xfsprogs.

Also:

With more of Dave's changes, I think we can swap out:

		size = offsetof(xfs_sb_t, sb_lsn)
			+ sizeof(sb->sb_lsn);
for
		size = xfs_sb_info[XFS_SBS_LSN + 1].offset;

but this version is a bit easier to backport, and works in the
current git tree...

I tested with current git tree and it worked as expected for me!
Afterwards I was able to run xfs_growfs (from 3.1.11) w/o any problem.

Please excuse me - forgot to set the english locale before starting.
Hope you can guess what it should be in english :-).


Kein Problem, ich kann etwas Deutsch zu lesen. :)

Ich auch :)

Code looks good.

Glad it worked for you!
