commit 7303cb5bfe845f7d43cd9b2dbd37dbb266efda9b upstream. ext4_search_dir() and ext4_generic_delete_entry() can be called both for standard director blocks and for inline directories stored inside inode or inline xattr space. For the second case we didn't call ext4_check_dir_entry() with proper constraints that could result in accepting corrupted directory entry as well as false positive filesystem errors like: EXT4-fs error (device dm-0): ext4_search_dir:1395: inode #28320400: block 113246792: comm dockerd: bad entry in directory: directory entry too close to block end - offset=0, inode=28320403, rec_len=32, name_len=8, size=4096 Fix the arguments passed to ext4_check_dir_entry().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
