    xfs: sanity check attr fork size · b828d8c3
    Christoph Hellwig 提交于
    Recently we have quite a few kerneloops reports about dereferencing a NULL
    if_data in the attribute fork.  From looking over the code this can only
    happen if we pass a 0 size argument to xfs_iformat_local.  This implies some
    sort of corruption and in fact the only mailinglist report about this from
    earlier this year was after a powerfail presumably on a system with write
    cache and without barriers.
    
    Add a quick sanity check for the attr fork size in xfs_iformat to catch
    these early and without an oops.
