xfs_da3_node_verify() bounds the on-disk record count with:

	/* we don't know if the node is for and attribute or directory
	 * tree, so only fail if the count is outside both bounds
	 */
	if (ichdr.count > mp->m_dir_geo->node_ents &&
	    ichdr.count > mp->m_attr_geo->node_ents)
		return __this_address;

The "fail only outside both bounds" conjunction is forced weak
because the verify pass cannot tell directory from attribute nodes.
On filesystems with a multi-fsb directory block size (mkfs.xfs -n
size=64k, sb_dirblklog > 0), m_dir_geo->node_ents is much larger than
m_attr_geo->node_ents (~8184 vs ~504 for 64k/4k), so an attribute
tree node with a count in (attr_ents, dir_ents] passes verification.
Consumers then index the in-block btree array with that count and
read out of bounds:

  xfs_da3_node_lookup_int()   btree[max - 1].hashval  (max = count)
  xfs_da3_path_shift()        btree[nodehdr.count - 1].hashval / .before

with count=8184 the read lands ~61KB past the 4K buffer, and the
out-of-bounds "before" value is then used as a child block number.
The read path is reachable by an unprivileged user via
getxattr/listxattr once the malicious image is mounted.

Tightening the verify conjunction would falsely reject legitimate
large directory nodes whose counts live in the same interval, so
enforce the per-fork bound instead where the geometry is known: at
the two consumers that index the array with the on-disk count.

This issue was discovered by Tencent CodeBuddy Security.
