ext3/ext4: orphan list corruption due bad inode
After ext3 orphan list check has been added into ext3_destroy_inode()
(please see my previous patch) the following situation has been detected:
EXT3-fs warning (device sda6): ext3_unlink: Deleting nonexistent file (37901290), 0
Inode 00000101a15b7840: orphan list check failed!
00000773 6f665f00 74616d72 00000573 65725f00 06737270 66000000 616d726f
...
Call Trace: [<ffffffff80211ea9>] ext3_destroy_inode+0x79/0x90
[<ffffffff801a2b16>] sys_unlink+0x126/0x1a0

First messages said that unlinked inode has i_nlink=0, then ext3_unlink()
adds this inode into orphan list.
Second message means that this inode has not been removed from orphan list.
Inode dump has showed that i_fop = &bad_file_ops and it can be set in
make_bad_inode() only. Then I've found that ext3_read_inode() can call
make_bad_inode() without any error/warning messages, for example in the
following case:
...
if (inode->i_nlink == 0) {
if (inode->i_mode == 0 ||
!(EXT3_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_mount_state & EXT3_ORPHAN_FS)) {
/* this inode is deleted */
brelse (bh);
goto bad_inode;
...
Bad inode can live some time, ext3_unlink can add it to orphan list, but
ext3_delete_inode() do not deleted this inode from orphan list. As result
we can have orphan list corruption detected in ext3_destroy_inode().
However it is not clear for me how to fix this issue correctly.
As far as i see is_bad_inode() is called after iget() in all places
excluding ext3_lookup() and ext3_get_parent(). I believe it makes sense to
add bad inode check to these functions too and call iput if bad inode
detected.
