    ocfs2: Wrap inode block reads in a dedicated function. · b657c95c
    Joel Becker 提交于
    The ocfs2 code currently reads inodes off disk with a simple
    ocfs2_read_block() call.  Each place that does this has a different set
    of sanity checks it performs.  Some check only the signature.  A couple
    validate the block number (the block read vs di->i_blkno).  A couple
    others check for VALID_FL.  Only one place validates i_fs_generation.  A
    couple check nothing.  Even when an error is found, they don't all do
    the same thing.
    
    We wrap inode reading into ocfs2_read_inode_block().  This will validate
    all the above fields, going readonly if they are invalid (they never
    should be).  ocfs2_read_inode_block_full() is provided for the places
    that want to pass read_block flags.  Every caller is passing a struct
    inode with a valid ip_blkno, so we don't need a separate blkno argument
    either.
    
    We will remove the validation checks from the rest of the code in a
    later commit, as they are no longer necessary.
