ext4: check if directory block is within i_size
mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.0-rc1 commit 65f8ea4cd57dbd46ea13b41dc8bac03176b04233 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/I58WSQ CVE: CVE-2022-1184 -------------------------------- Currently ext4 directory handling code implicitly assumes that the directory blocks are always within the i_size. In fact ext4_append() will attempt to allocate next directory block based solely on i_size and the i_size is then appropriately increased after a successful allocation. However, for this to work it requires i_size to be correct. If, for any reason, the directory inode i_size is corrupted in a way that the directory tree refers to a valid directory block past i_size, we could end up corrupting parts of the directory tree structure by overwriting already used directory blocks when modifying the directory. Fix it by catching the corruption early in __ext4_read_dirblock(). Addresses Red-Hat-Bugzilla: #2070205 CVE: CVE-2022-1184...
