ext4: Fix crash due to getting bogus eh_depth value on big-endian systems
Commit 1939dd84b3 ("ext4: cleanup ext4_ext_grow_indepth code") added a reference to ext4_extent_header.eh_depth, but forget to pass the value read through le16_to_cpu. The result is a crash on big-endian machines, such as this crash on a POWER7 server: attempt to access beyond end of device sda8: rw=0, want=776392648163376, limit=168558560 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6bcb Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000001f5f38 cpu 0x14: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c000001bd1aaecf0] pc: c0000000001f5f38: .__brelse+0x18/0x60 lr: c0000000002e07a4: .ext4_ext_drop_refs+0x44/0x80 sp: c000001bd1aaef70 msr: 9000000000009032 dar: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6bcb dsisr: 40000000 current = 0xc000001bd15b8010 paca = 0xc00000000ffe4600 pid = 19911, comm = flush-8:0 enter ? for help [c000001bd1aaeff0] c0000000002e07a4 .ext4_ext_drop_refs+0x44/0x80 [c000001bd1aaf090] c0000000002e0c58 .ext4_ext_find_extent+0x408/0x4c0 [c000001bd1aaf180] c0000000002e145c .ext4_ext_insert_extent+0x2bc/0x14c0 [c000001bd1aaf2c0] c0000000002e3fb8 .ext4_ext_map_blocks+0x628/0x1710 [c000001bd1aaf420] c0000000002b2974 .ext4_map_blocks+0x224/0x310 [c000001bd1aaf4d0] c0000000002b7f2c .mpage_da_map_and_submit+0xbc/0x490 [c000001bd1aaf5a0] c0000000002b8688 .write_cache_pages_da+0x2c8/0x430 [c000001bd1aaf720] c0000000002b8b28 .ext4_da_writepages+0x338/0x670 [c000001bd1aaf8d0] c000000000157280 .do_writepages+0x40/0x90 [c000001bd1aaf940] c0000000001ea830 .writeback_single_inode+0xe0/0x530 [c000001bd1aafa00] c0000000001eb680 .writeback_sb_inodes+0x210/0x300 [c000001bd1aafb20] c0000000001ebc84 .__writeback_inodes_wb+0xd4/0x140 [c000001bd1aafbe0] c0000000001ebfec .wb_writeback+0x2fc/0x3e0 [c000001bd1aafce0] c0000000001ed770 .wb_do_writeback+0x2f0/0x300 [c000001bd1aafdf0] c0000000001ed848 .bdi_writeback_thread+0xc8/0x340 [c000001bd1aafed0] c0000000000c5494 .kthread+0xb4/0xc0 [c000001bd1aaff90] c000000000021f48 .kernel_thread+0x54/0x70 This is due to getting ext_depth(inode) == 0x101 and therefore running off the end of the path array in ext4_ext_drop_refs into following unallocated structures. This fixes it by adding the necessary le16_to_cpu. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
