mainline inclusion from mainline-5.15-rc4 commit 42cb447410d024e9d54139ae9c21ea132a8c384c category: bugfix bugzilla: 182902 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4DDEL
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
---------------------------
When ext4_htree_fill_tree() fails, ext4_dx_readdir() can run into an infinite loop since if info->last_pos != ctx->pos this will reset the directory scan and reread the failing entry. For example:
1. a dx_dir which has 3 block, block 0 as dx_root block, block 1/2 as leaf block which own the ext4_dir_entry_2 2. block 1 read ok and call_filldir which will fill the dirent and update the ctx->pos 3. block 2 read fail, but we has already fill some dirent, so we will return back to userspace will a positive return val(see ksys_getdents64) 4. the second ext4_dx_readdir will reset the world since info->last_pos != ctx->pos, and will also init the curr_hash which pos to block 1 5. So we will read block1 too, and once block2 still read fail, we can only fill one dirent because the hash of the entry in block1(besides the last one) won't greater than curr_hash 6. this time, we forget update last_pos too since the read for block2 will fail, and since we has got the one entry, ksys_getdents64 can return success 7. Latter we will trapped in a loop with step 4~6
