From 71dc8fbcf5f6363342bd636a646eeac7cfef25c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Duane Griffin Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2008 19:27:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: handle deleting corrupted indirect blocks While freeing indirect blocks we attach a journal head to the parent buffer head, free the blocks, then journal the parent. If the indirect block list is corrupted and points to the parent the journal head will be detached when the block is cleared, causing an OOPS. Check for that explicitly and handle it gracefully. This patch fixes the third case (image hdb.20000057.nullderef.gz) reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10882.
