From 06a279d636734da32bb62dd2f7b0ade666f65d7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2009 18:41:37 -0500 Subject: ext4: only use i_size_high for regular files Directories are not allowed to be bigger than 2GB, so don't use i_size_high for anything other than regular files. E2fsck should complain about these inodes, but the simplest thing to do for the kernel is to only use i_size_high for regular files. This prevents an intentially corrupted filesystem from causing the kernel to burn a huge amount of CPU and issuing error messages such as: EXT4-fs warning (device loop0): ext4_block_to_path: block 135090028 > max Thanks to David Maciejak from Fortinet's FortiGuard Global Security Research Team for reporting this issue. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12375 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Cc: stable@kernel.org --- fs/ext4/inode.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'fs/ext4/inode.c') diff --git a/fs/ext4/inode.c b/fs/ext4/inode.c index a6444cee0c7e..49484ba801c9 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/inode.c +++ b/fs/ext4/inode.c @@ -360,9 +360,9 @@ static int ext4_block_to_path(struct inode *inode, final = ptrs; } else { ext4_warning(inode->i_sb, "ext4_block_to_path", - "block %lu > max", + "block %lu > max in inode %lu", i_block + direct_blocks + - indirect_blocks + double_blocks); + indirect_blocks + double_blocks, inode->i_ino); } if (boundary) *boundary = final - 1 - (i_block & (ptrs - 1)); -- cgit v1.2.2
