6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@linux.alibaba.com> [ Upstream commit 775c17386a6fd695f999d4cda90e3931386570dd ] Patch series "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read callbacks". ocfs2 validates extent list fields (l_count, l_next_free_rec) at various points during extent tree traversal. This is fragile because each caller must remember to check for corrupted on-disk data before using it. This series moves those checks into the block read validation callbacks (ocfs2_validate_dx_root and ocfs2_validate_extent_block), so corrupted fields are caught early at block read time. Redundant post-read checks are then removed. This patch (of 4): Move the extent list l_count validation from ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec() into ocfs2_validate_dx_root(), so that corrupted on-disk fields are caught early at block read time rather than during directory lookups. Additionally, add a l_next_free_rec <= l_count check to prevent out-of-bounds access when iterating over extent records. Both checks are skipped for inline dx roots (OCFS2_DX_FLAG_INLINE), which use dr_entries instead of dr_list.
