    xfs: don't trip over uninitialized buffer on extent read of corrupted inode · 6958d11f
    Brian Foster authored
    We've had rather rare reports of bmap btree block corruption where
    the bmap root block has a level count of zero. The root cause of the
    corruption is so far unknown. We do have verifier checks to detect
    this form of on-disk corruption, but this doesn't cover a memory
    corruption variant of the problem. The latter is a reasonable
    possibility because the root block is part of the inode fork and can
    reside in-core for some time before inode extents are read.
    
    If this occurs, it leads to a system crash such as the following:
    
     BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff00000221
     PF error: [normal kernel read fault]
     ...
     RIP: 0010:xfs_trans_brelse+0xf/0x200 [xfs]

    The crash occurs because xfs_iread_extents() attempts to release an
    uninitialized buffer pointer as the level == 0 value prevented the
    buffer from ever being allocated or read. Change the level > 0
    assert to an explicit error check in xfs_iread_extents() to avoid
    crashing the kernel in the event of localized, in-core inode
    corruption.
