Dave Chinner 9e6c08d4a8 xfs: validate btree records on retrieval
So we don't check the validity of records as we walk the btree. When
there are corrupt records in the free space btree (e.g. zero
startblock/length or beyond EOAG) we just blindly use it and things
go bad from there. That leads to assert failures on debug kernels
like this:

XFS: Assertion failed: fs_is_ok, file: fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c, line: 450
....
Call Trace:
 xfs_alloc_fixup_trees+0x368/0x5c0

 xfs_alloc_ag_vextent+0x1d3/0x330
 xfs_alloc_vextent+0x5e9/0x870

Or crashes like this:

XFS (loop0): xfs_buf_find: daddr 0x7fb28 out of range, EOFS 0x8000
.....
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000c8

 xfs_dir2_sf_addname+0xd0/0x590
 xfs_dir_createname+0x168/0x1a0
 xfs_rename+0x658/0x9b0

By checking that free space records pulled from the trees are
within the valid range, we catch many of these corruptions before
they can do damage.

This is a generic btree record checking deficiency. We need to
validate the records we fetch from all the different btrees before
we use them to catch corruptions like this.

This patch results in a corrupt record emitting an error message and
returning -EFSCORRUPTED, and the higher layers catch that and abort:

 XFS (loop0): Size Freespace BTree record corruption in AG 0 detected!

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
