[PATCH] ext4: WARN if a full dir leaf block has only one dentry

From: libaokun
Date: Tue Oct 08 2024 - 08:14:28 EST


From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx>

The maximum length of a filename is 255 and the minimum block size is 1024,
so it is always guaranteed that the number of entries is greater than or
equal to 2 when do_split() is called. So unless ext4_dx_add_entry() and
make_indexed_dir() or some other functions are buggy, 'split == 0' will
not occur.

Setting 'continued' to 0 in this case masks the problem that the file
system has become corrupted, even though it prevents possible out-of-bounds
access. Hence WARN_ON_ONCE() is used to check if 'split' is 0, and if it is
then warns and returns an error to abort split.
