[PATCH] udf: fix dvd mounting error

From: Sudip Mukherjee
Date: Thu Nov 15 2018 - 07:26:12 EST


Some DVDs are failing to mount with the error:

[ 632.305370] UDF-fs: warning (device loop0): udf_load_vrs: No anchor found
[ 632.305372] UDF-fs: Scanning with blocksize 512 failed
[ 632.307837] UDF-fs: warning (device loop0): udf_load_vrs: No anchor found
[ 632.307839] UDF-fs: Scanning with blocksize 1024 failed
[ 632.309320] UDF-fs: incorrect dstring lengths (32/32)
[ 632.309361] UDF-fs: Scanning with blocksize 2048 failed
[ 632.309530] UDF-fs: warning (device loop0): udf_load_vrs: No VRS found
[ 632.309531] UDF-fs: Scanning with blocksize 4096 failed

This particular DVD used to work with v4.4 kernels, and has stopped
working after updating the kernel to v4.14. Did a git bisect and that
pointed to:
c26f6c615788 ("udf: Fix conversion of 'dstring' fields to UTF8")

This patch effectively reverts c26f6c615788 and removes the length
check that it introduced. And after this patch:

[ 61.767204] UDF-fs: warning (device loop0): udf_load_vrs: No anchor found
[ 61.767206] UDF-fs: Scanning with blocksize 512 failed

[ 61.775045] UDF-fs: INFO Mounting volume 'TOUR_2017_THANKSGIVING_25_DISC ',
timestamp 2018/01/30 05:57 (1000)

The DVD is available at:

I dont't think this is the correct fix but has solved the problem for
now. I have the iso image of the DVD for testing, and if there is a better
solution I can test.
