![]() If UBIFS is facing an error while walking a directory, it reports this error and ubifs_readdir() returns the error code. But the VFS readdir logic does not make the getdents system call fail in all cases. When the readdir cursor indicates that more entries are present, the system call will just return and the libc wrapper will try again since it also knows that more entries are present. This causes the libc wrapper to busy loop for ever when a directory is corrupted on UBIFS. A common approach do deal with corrupted directory entries is skipping them by setting the cursor to the next entry. On UBIFS this approach is not possible since we cannot compute the next directory entry cursor position without reading the current entry. So all we can do is setting the cursor to the "no more entries" position and make getdents exit. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> |
