Subject: [PATCH v6 0/2] ocfs2: validate xattr entry bounds
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 17:13:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625091303.234624-1-zzzccc427@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
This series validates OCFS2 xattr entry name/value bounds when xattr
metadata is read and validated, before getxattr() or listxattr() can
walk out-of-range entry arrays or offsets from corrupted metadata.
Patch 1 validates inline xattrs from ocfs2_validate_inode_block().
Patch 2 reuses the same entry validator for non-indexed xattr blocks
and indexed xattr buckets.
Changes since v5:
- Resend as a standalone thread.
- No code changes.
Changes since v4:
- Replace the descriptive string argument with enum
ocfs2_xattr_entry_type.
- Drop the new per-operation full inline-xattr re-check; operation
paths keep their existing ibody header/count lookup, and full
entry bounds validation now runs at inode block read time.
- Simplify corruption messages to rely on the corrupt block number
instead of also naming the xattr storage kind.
