[PATCH v2] ocfs2: reject oversized group bitmap descriptors

Message-ID <[email protected]>
ocfs2_validate_gd_parent() only bounds bg_bits against the parent
allocator's chain geometry. A malicious descriptor can still claim a
bg_size/bg_bits pair that exceeds the bitmap bytes that physically fit in
the group descriptor block, so later bitmap scans and bit updates can run
past bg_bitmap.

Use ocfs2_group_bitmap_size() for the allocator inode's bitmap layout and
reject descriptors whose bg_size or bg_bits exceed that capacity. Keep the
existing chain geometry check so both the on-disk bitmap layout and the
allocator metadata must agree before the descriptor is used.

v2:
Use !ocfs2_is_cluster_bitmap() to choose the allocator bitmap layout, as
suggested by Joseph Qi.
Pass the allocator inode through the resize descriptor check so the helper
is used there too.
