[PATCH] nilfs2: replace WARN_ONs for invalid DAT metadata block requests

From: Ryusuke Konishi
Date: Thu Jan 26 2023 - 11:42:09 EST


If DAT metadata file block access fails due to corruption of the DAT file
or abnormal virtual block numbers held by b-trees or inodes, a kernel
warning is generated.

This replaces the WARN_ONs by error output, so that a kernel, booted with
panic_on_warn, does not panic. This patch also replaces the detected
return code -ENOENT with another internal code -EINVAL to notify the bmap
layer of metadata corruption. When the bmap layer sees -EINVAL, it
handles the abnormal situation with nilfs_bmap_convert_error() and
finally returns code -EIO as it should.

Hi Andrew, please queue this. This fixes a few potential WARN_ONs
for corrupted disk images like the one syzbot produced.

Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
