nilfs2: fix use-after-free bug of struct nilfs_root
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit d325dc6eb763c10f591c239550b8c7e5466a5d09 upstream.

If the beginning of the inode bitmap area is corrupted on disk, an inode
with the same inode number as the root inode can be allocated and fail
soon after.  In this case, the subsequent call to nilfs_clear_inode() on
that bogus root inode will wrongly decrement the reference counter of
struct nilfs_root, and this will erroneously free struct nilfs_root,
causing kernel oopses.

This fixes the problem by changing nilfs_new_inode() to skip reserved
inode numbers while repairing the inode bitmap.
