+Subject: nilfs2: reject invalid file types when reading inodes
+
+From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@gmail.com>
+
+commit 4aead50caf67e01020c8be1945c3201e8a972a27 upstream.
+
+To prevent inodes with invalid file types from tripping through the vfs
+and causing malfunctions or assertion failures, add a missing sanity check
+when reading an inode from a block device. If the file type is not valid,
+treat it as a filesystem error.
