If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Eric Sandeen This one was pointed out on the MOKB site: http://kernelfun.blogspot.com/2006/11/mokb-09-11-2006-linux-26x-ext2checkpage.html If a directory's i_size is corrupted, ext2_find_entry() will keep processing pages until the i_size is reached, even if there are no more blocks associated with the directory inode. This patch puts in some minimal sanity-checking so that we don't keep checking pages (and issuing errors) if we know there can be no more data to read, based on the block count of the directory inode. This is somewhat similar in approach to the ext3 patch I sent earlier this year.
