[PATCH 3.16 080/366] ext4: bubble errors from ext4_find_inline_data_nolock() up to ext4_iget()

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Nov 11 2018 - 15:06:59 EST


3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

commit eb9b5f01c33adebc31cbc236c02695f605b0e417 upstream.

If ext4_find_inline_data_nolock() returns an error it needs to get
reflected up to ext4_iget(). In order to fix this,
ext4_iget_extra_inode() needs to return an error (and not return
void).

This is related to "ext4: do not allow external inodes for inline
data" (which fixes CVE-2018-11412) in that in the errors=continue
case, it would be useful to for userspace to receive an error
indicating that file system is corrupted.
