- issue warning when bad inode found via ext3_lookup
RFC PATCH 1/1 - issue warning when bad inode found via ext3_lookup
I have a hand-crafted bad filesystem image which has a corrupted directory entry:
[root@inode ~]# ls mnt/PictureLINKS_20 OBEN_20 VORNE_20 VORN_LINKS_20 VORN_RECHTS_20 [root@inode ~]# ls mnt/Picture/VORN_LINKS_20
ls: cannot access mnt/Picture/VORN_LINKS_20: No such file or directory [root@inode ~]# stat mnt/Picture/VORN_LINKS_20
stat: cannot stat `mnt/Picture/VORN_LINKS_20': No such file or directory [root@inode ~]# ls -l mnt/Picture
ls: cannot access mnt/Picture/VORN_LINKS_20: No such file or directory total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2007-09-04 13:36 LINKS_20 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2007-09-04 13:36 OBEN_20 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2007-09-04 13:36 VORNE_20
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? VORN_LINKS_20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2007-09-04 13:36 VORN_RECHTS_20
e2fsck also knows it's corrupted:
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Entry 'VORN_LINKS_20' in /Picture (2049) has deleted/unused inode 13. Clear? no
Entry 'VORN_LINKS_20' in /Picture (2049) has an incorrect filetype (was 2, should be 1). Fix? no
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Unconnected directory inode 2053 (/Picture/???)
BUT there are no kernel messages anywhere.
I think the below makes sense; I don't think there are any instances where an inode found via a filename passed to ext3_lookup should be returning a bad inode without warning; NFS may pass in a stale filehandle which also makes a bad inode, but that shouldn't go through lookup...
Comments? (if it looks good I'll resubmit for ext*_lookup)
