udf: check the unallocated space table when it is loaded
udf_table_new_block() hands out the first block of the extent closest
to its goal and trusts that the extent covers at least one whole block
inside the partition. Nothing checks that. A zero-length extent makes
it return the block the extent points at, which need not be free, and
the subtraction of one block then underflows the length into the type
bits, turning the entry into a bogus continuation. An extent running
past the end of the partition makes it return blocks behind the
partition.
Such tables are not only found on crafted images: until the previous
commit, udf_table_new_block() itself left zero-length extents behind
in tables written by mkudffs, and then converted them into extents
running past the partition.
Check every extent once when the table is loaded, and refuse
read-write access if one is empty, is not a whole number of blocks, or
does not lie inside the partition, in the same way as for other
allocation information the kernel cannot use. Check first that the
table is an Unallocated Space Entry at all: the walk starts at the
offset of the allocation descriptors in one, and for a file entry that
offset lies before the inode's in-memory copy of the descriptors.
Treat a chain of allocation extent descriptors that leads back to
itself the same way: the walk would otherwise return the same extents
forever, and the mount would never finish. Let a fatal signal
interrupt the walk and fail the mount.
Refusing read-write access to an empty extent is deliberate. It shows
that an old kernel took the last block but left the entry behind. If
consumed again, the entry returns an in-use block and turns into a huge
bogus extent. Refusing the table before that
happens avoids this second allocation; the filesystem can still be
mounted read-only. The check cannot detect every overlap that may
already exist in a damaged table.
This patch should be backported together with the previous one: that
patch stops creating new empty extents, and this one rejects existing
ones before they are consumed again.
