Baokun Li 839f300001 ext4: make sure the first directory block is not a hole
commit f9ca51596bbfd0f9c386dd1c613c394c78d9e5e6 upstream.

The syzbot constructs a directory that has no dirblock but is non-inline,
i.e. the first directory block is a hole. And no errors are reported when
creating files in this directory in the following flow.

    ext4_mknod
     ...
      ext4_add_entry
        // Read block 0
        ext4_read_dirblock(dir, block, DIRENT)
          bh = ext4_bread(NULL, inode, block, 0)
          if (!bh && (type == INDEX || type == DIRENT_HTREE))
          // The first directory block is a hole
          // But type == DIRENT, so no error is reported.

After that, we get a directory block without '.' and '..' but with a valid
dentry. This may cause some code that relies on dot or dotdot (such as
make_indexed_dir()) to crash.

Therefore when ext4_read_dirblock() finds that the first directory block
is a hole report that the filesystem is corrupted and return an error to
avoid loading corrupted data from disk causing something bad.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
