From 4b808fd2ef61f6d8bdaabe30b67da3f5ea9948bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2013 01:15:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ext2: Fix fs corruption in ext2_get_xip_mem() commit 7ba3ec5749ddb61f79f7be17b5fd7720eebc52de upstream. Commit 8e3dffc651cb "Ext2: mark inode dirty after the function dquot_free_block_nodirty is called" unveiled a bug in __ext2_get_block() called from ext2_get_xip_mem(). That function called ext2_get_block() mistakenly asking it to map 0 blocks while 1 was intended. Before the above mentioned commit things worked out fine by luck but after that commit we started returning that we allocated 0 blocks while we in fact allocated 1 block and thus allocation was looping until all blocks in the filesystem were exhausted. Fix the problem by properly asking for one block and also add assertion in ext2_get_blocks() to catch similar problems.
