From: Cen Zhang <[email protected]> ocfs2_validate_xattr_block() checks the xattr block header before the block reaches higher-level xattr users, but it does not verify that a non-indexed block's xh_count and entry offsets fit inside the block. Indexed buckets likewise reach list/get consumers after ECC without an entry-bounds check. Move the non-indexed external xattr entry checks into ocfs2_validate_xattr_block(). Validate indexed bucket entries immediately after bucket ECC verification in ocfs2_read_xattr_bucket(), because buckets do not pass through ocfs2_validate_xattr_block(). The bucket entry table is still bounded by the first bucket block; the name/value offsets are then checked against the bucket block they target. Reject corrupted external xattr metadata before listxattr() or getxattr() can walk out-of-range entry arrays or name/value offsets.
