[PATCH 4.9 43/83] ocfs2: fix a misuse a of brelse after failing ocfs2_check_dir_entry

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Changwei Ge <ge.changwei@xxxxxxx>

commit 29aa30167a0a2e6045a0d6d2e89d8168132333d5 upstream.

Somehow, file system metadata was corrupted, which causes
ocfs2_check_dir_entry() to fail in function ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_el().

According to the original design intention, if above happens we should
skip the problematic block and continue to retrieve dir entry.  But
there is obviouse misuse of brelse around related code.

After failure of ocfs2_check_dir_entry(), current code just moves to
next position and uses the problematic buffer head again and again
during which the problematic buffer head is released for multiple times.
I suppose, this a serious issue which is long-lived in ocfs2.  This may
cause other file systems which is also used in a the same host insane.

So we should also consider about bakcporting this patch into linux
-stable.
