commit f9ca51596b 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.
