From 3ee29465810887548cb293ccacb1cc810af61a4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 13:12:12 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] e2fsck: clear i_block[] when there are too many bad mappings on a special inode If we decide to clear a special inode because of bad mappings, we need to zero the i_block array. The clearing routine depends on setting i_links_count to zero to keep us from re-checking the block maps, but that field isn't checked for special inodes. Therefore, if we haven't erased the mappings, check_blocks will restart fsck and fsck will try to check the blocks again, leading to an infinite loop. (This seems easy to trigger if the bootloader inode extent map is corrupted.) Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
