ext4: fix hang when processing corrupted orphaned inode list
commit c9eb13a9105e2e418f72e46a2b6da3f49e696902 upstream. If the orphaned inode list contains inode #5, ext4_iget() returns a bad inode (since the bootloader inode should never be referenced directly). Because of the bad inode, we end up processing the inode repeatedly and this hangs the machine. This can be reproduced via: mke2fs -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 100 debugfs -w -R "ssv last_orphan 5" /tmp/foo.img mount -o loop /tmp/foo.img /mnt (But don't do this if you are using an unpatched kernel if you care about the system staying functional. :-) This bug was found by the port of American Fuzzy Lop into the kernel to find file system problems[1]. (Since it *only* happens if inode #5 shows up on the orphan list --- 3, 7, 8, etc. won't do it, it's not surprising that AFL needed two hours before it found it.)
