| |
2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
(cherry picked from commit 06a279d636734da32bb62dd2f7b0ade666f65d7c)
Directories are not allowed to be bigger than 2GB, so don't use i_size_high for anything other than regular files. E2fsck should complain about these inodes, but the simplest thing to do for the kernel is to only use i_size_high for regular files.
This prevents an intentially corrupted filesystem from causing the kernel to burn a huge amount of CPU and issuing error messages such as:
EXT4-fs warning (device loop0): ext4_block_to_path: block 135090028 > max
Thanks to David Maciejak from Fortinet's FortiGuard Global Security Research Team for reporting this issue.
