Revert "f2fs: avoid out-of-range memory access"
As Pavel Machek reported: "We normally use -EUCLEAN to signal filesystem corruption. Plus, it is good idea to report it to the syslog and mark filesystem as "needing fsck" if filesystem can do that." Still we need improve the original patch with: - use unlikely keyword - add message print - return EUCLEAN However, after rethink this patch, I don't think we should add such condition check here as below reasons: - We have already checked the field in f2fs_sanity_check_ckpt(), - If there is fs corrupt or security vulnerability, there is nothing to guarantee the field is integrated after the check, unless we do the check before each of its use, however no filesystem does that. - We only have similar check for bitmap, which was added due to there is bitmap corruption happened on f2fs' runtime in product. - There are so many key fields in SB/CP/NAT did have such check after f2fs_sanity_check_{sb,cp,..}. So I propose to revert this unneeded check. This reverts commit 56f3ce675103e3fb9e631cfb4131fc768bc23e9a. Signed-off-by: Chao Yu <yuchao0@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
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.
