Deepanshu Kartikey d91bd069a1 nilfs2: reject zero bd_oblocknr in nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty()
[ Upstream commit be3e5d10643d3be1cbac9d9939f220a99253f980 ]

nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty() uses bd_oblocknr to detect dead blocks
by comparing it with the current block number bd_blocknr. If they differ,
the block is considered dead and skipped.

However, bd_oblocknr should never be 0 since block 0 typically stores the
primary superblock and is never a valid GC target block. A corrupted ioctl
request with bd_oblocknr set to 0 causes the comparison to incorrectly
match when the lookup returns -ENOENT and sets bd_blocknr to 0, bypassing
the dead block check and calling nilfs_bmap_mark() on a non-existent
block. This causes nilfs_btree_do_lookup() to return -ENOENT, triggering
the WARN_ON(ret == -ENOENT).

Fix this by rejecting ioctl requests with bd_oblocknr set to 0 at the
beginning of each iteration.

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.
