xfs: sanity check attr fork size
Recently we have quite a few kerneloops reports about dereferencing a NULL if_data in the attribute fork. From looking over the code this can only happen if we pass a 0 size argument to xfs_iformat_local. This implies some sort of corruption and in fact the only mailinglist report about this from earlier this year was after a powerfail presumably on a system with write cache and without barriers. Add a quick sanity check for the attr fork size in xfs_iformat to catch these early and without an oops. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>
