[patch 34/36] ext4: Add sanity check to make_indexed_dir

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Feb 18 2009 - 17:44:41 EST


2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@xxxxxxx>

(cherry picked from commit e6b8bc09ba2075cd91fbffefcd2778b1a00bd76f)

Make sure the rec_len field in the '..' entry is sane, lest we overrun
the directory block and cause a kernel oops on a purposefully
corrupted filesystem.

Thanks to Sami Liedes for reporting this bug.
