[PATCH] xfs: check directory data block header padding in scrub

From: Yuto Ohnuki

Date: Sat Apr 04 2026 - 08:50:57 EST


The pad field in xfs_dir3_data_hdr exists for 64-bit alignment and
should always be zero. The scrub code already checks the pad field for
leaf and free block headers but was missing the same check for data
block headers. Add the missing check.
