xfs: handle array index overrun in xfs_dir2_leaf_readbuf()
commit 023cc840 upstream. Carlos had a case where "find" seemed to start spinning forever and never return. This was on a filesystem with non-default multi-fsb (8k) directory blocks, and a fragmented directory with extents like this: 0:[0,133646,2,0] 1:[2,195888,1,0] 2:[3,195890,1,0] 3:[4,195892,1,0] 4:[5,195894,1,0] 5:[6,195896,1,0] 6:[7,195898,1,0] 7:[8,195900,1,0] 8:[9,195902,1,0] 9:[10,195908,1,0] 10:[11,195910,1,0] 11:[12,195912,1,0] 12:[13,195914,1,0] ... i.e. the first extent is a contiguous 2-fsb dir block, but after that it is fragmented into 1 block extents. At the top of the readdir path, we allocate a mapping array which (for this filesystem geometry) can hold 10 extents; see the assignment to map_info->map_size. During readdir, we are therefore able to map extents 0 through 9 above into the array for readahead purposes. If we count by 2, we see that the last mapped index (9) is the first block of a 2-fsb directory block. At the end of xfs_dir2_leaf_readbuf() we have 2 loops to fill more readahead; the outer loop assumes one full dir block is processed each loop iteration, and an inner loop that ensures that this is so by advancing to the next extent until a full directory block is mapped. The problem is that this inner loop may step past the last extent in the mapping array as it tries to reach the end of the directory block. This will read garbage for the extent length, and as a result the loop control variable 'j' may become corrupted and never fail the loop conditional. The number of valid mappings we have in our array is stored in map->map_valid, so stop this inner loop based on that limit. There is an ASSERT at the top of the outer loop for this same condition, but we never made it out of the inner loop, so the ASSERT never fired. Huge appreciation for Carlos for debugging and isolating the problem.
