754661f143 [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1
Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

731b9a5498 [PATCH] remove ext[34]_inc_count and _dec_count
- Naming is confusing, ext3_inc_count manipulates i_nlink not i_count
- handle argument passed in is not used
- ext3 and ext4 already call inc_nlink and dec_nlink directly in other places

2988a7740d [PATCH] return ENOENT from ext3_link when racing with unlink
Return -ENOENT from ext[34]_link if we've raced with unlink and i_nlink is
0.  Doing otherwise has the potential to corrupt the orphan inode list,
because we'd wind up with an inode with a non-zero link count on the list,
and it will never get properly cleaned up & removed from the orphan list
before it is freed.

e6c4021190 [PATCH] handle ext4 directory corruption better
I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz

Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then
tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions.

At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully.  At worst,
things spin out of control.

As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext4 where things spin out
of control :)

First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for
consistency...  it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of
length 0.  The for() loop looped forever, since the length of
ext4_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and
over and over and over...  I modeled this check and subsequent action on
what is done for other directory types in ext4_readdir...

(adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup
patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory
entries, in all cases.  Thanks for the idea, Andreas).

Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to
be > 200M on a 4M filesystem.  There was only really 1 block in the
directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for
more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way.

Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're
trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes,
stop trying, and break out of the loop.

With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext4.
