[PATCH 3.13 068/162] ext4: add ext4_iget_normal() which is to be used for dir tree lookups

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Thu Nov 06 2014 - 17:44:50 EST


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

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

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

commit f4bb2981024fc91b23b4d09a8817c415396dbabb upstream.

If there is a corrupted file system which has directory entries that
point at reserved, metadata inodes, prohibit them from being used by
treating them the same way we treat Boot Loader inodes --- that is,
mark them to be bad inodes. This prohibits them from being opened,
deleted, or modified via chmod, chown, utimes, etc.

In particular, this prevents a corrupted file system which has a
directory entry which points at the journal inode from being deleted
and its blocks released, after which point Much Hilarity Ensues.
