From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2025 12:30:39 +0000 (+0200) Subject: ext4: fix checks for orphan inodes X-Git-Tag: v6.12.53~21 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f50bece98c668f97b1b696d87feb2ccb9bce3d49;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git ext4: fix checks for orphan inodes commit acf943e9768ec9d9be80982ca0ebc4bfd6b7631e upstream. When orphan file feature is enabled, inode can be tracked as orphan either in the standard orphan list or in the orphan file. The first can be tested by checking ei->i_orphan list head, the second is recorded by EXT4_STATE_ORPHAN_FILE inode state flag. There are several places where we want to check whether inode is tracked as orphan and only some of them properly check for both possibilities. Luckily the consequences are mostly minor, the worst that can happen is that we track an inode as orphan although we don't need to and e2fsck then complains (resulting in occasional ext4/307 xfstest failures). Fix the problem by introducing a helper for checking whether an inode is tracked as orphan and use it in appropriate places.
