[PATCH 02/10] xfs_db: don't crash on a corrupt inode

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

 



If the user selects a corrupt inode via the 'inode XXX' command, the
read verifier will fail and the io cursor at the top of the ring will
not have any data attached.  When this is the case, we cannot
dereference the NULL pointer or xfs_db will crash.  Therefore, check
the buffer pointer before using it.

It's arguable that we ought to retry the read without the verifiers
if the inode is corrupt or fails CRC, since this /is/ a debugging
tool, and maybe you wanted the contents anyway.
