Subject: xfs: fix up xfs_swap_extent_forks inline extent handling

From: Eric Sandeen <[email protected]>

commit 4dfce57db6354603641132fac3c887614e3ebe81 upstream.

There have been several reports over the years of NULL pointer dereferences in xfs_trans_log_inode during xfs_fsr processes, when the process is doing an fput and tearing down extents on the temporary inode, something like:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018

As it turns out, this is because the i_itemp pointer, along with the d_ops pointer, has been overwritten with zeros when we tear down the extents during truncate. When the in-core inode fork on the temporary inode used by xfs_fsr was originally set up during the extent swap, we mistakenly looked at di_nextents to determine whether all extents fit inline, but this misses extents generated by speculative preallocation; we should be using if_bytes instead.

This mistake corrupts the in-memory inode, and code in xfs_iext_remove_inline eventually gets bad inputs, causing it to memmove and memset incorrect ranges; this became apparent because the two values in ifp->if_u2.if_inline_ext[1] contained what should have been in d_ops and i_itemp; they were memmoved due to incorrect array indexing and then the original locations were zeroed with memset, again due to an array overrun.

Fix this by properly using i_df.if_bytes to determine the number of extents, not di_nextents.

Thanks to dchinner for looking at this with me and spotting the root cause.
