    ext3/ext4: orphan list corruption due bad inode · a6c15c2b
    Vasily Averin 提交于
    After ext3 orphan list check has been added into ext3_destroy_inode()
    (please see my previous patch) the following situation has been detected:
    
     EXT3-fs warning (device sda6): ext3_unlink: Deleting nonexistent file (37901290), 0
     Inode 00000101a15b7840: orphan list check failed!
     00000773 6f665f00 74616d72 00000573 65725f00 06737270 66000000 616d726f
    ...
     Call Trace: [<ffffffff80211ea9>] ext3_destroy_inode+0x79/0x90
      [<ffffffff801a2b16>] sys_unlink+0x126/0x1a0
      [<ffffffff80111479>] error_exit+0x0/0x81
      [<ffffffff80110aba>] system_call+0x7e/0x83
    
    First messages said that unlinked inode has i_nlink=0, then ext3_unlink()
    adds this inode into orphan list.
    
    Second message means that this inode has not been removed from orphan list.
     Inode dump has showed that i_fop = &bad_file_ops and it can be set in
    make_bad_inode() only.  Then I've found that ext3_read_inode() can call
    make_bad_inode() without any error/warning messages, for example in the
    following case:
    
    ...
            if (inode->i_nlink == 0) {
                    if (inode->i_mode == 0 ||
                        !(EXT3_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_mount_state & EXT3_ORPHAN_FS)) {
                            /* this inode is deleted */
                            brelse (bh);
                            goto bad_inode;
    ...
    
    Bad inode can live some time, ext3_unlink can add it to orphan list, but
    ext3_delete_inode() do not deleted this inode from orphan list.  As result
    we can have orphan list corruption detected in ext3_destroy_inode().
    
    However it is not clear for me how to fix this issue correctly.
    
    As far as i see is_bad_inode() is called after iget() in all places
    excluding ext3_lookup() and ext3_get_parent().  I believe it makes sense to
    add bad inode check to these functions too and call iput if bad inode
    detected.
