Subject: [PATCH] nsfs: validate file handle type in nsfs_fh_to_dentry()
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master
Add early validation of file handle type in nsfs_fh_to_dentry() to
prevent processing of handles with incorrect types. This fixes a
warning triggered when open_by_handle_at() is called with non-nsfs
handle types on nsfs files.
The issue occurs when a user provides a file handle with a type
like FILEID_INO32_GEN_PARENT (0xf1) instead of FILEID_NSFS when
calling open_by_handle_at() on an nsfs file. The generic export
code routes this to nsfs_fh_to_dentry(), which then processes
the incorrectly formatted handle data, leading to validation
warnings.
