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 Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: yangerkun <yangerkun@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210914111415.3921954-1-yangerkun@huawei.com |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
