H A Dxfs_dir2_node.cdiff ce99494c9699df58b31d0a839e957f86cd58c755 Wed Mar 11 12:37:55 CDT 2020 Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com> xfs: fix buffer corruption reporting when xfs_dir3_free_header_check fails

xfs_verifier_error is supposed to be called on a corrupt metadata buffer
from within a buffer verifier function, whereas xfs_buf_mark_corrupt
is the function to be called when a piece of code has read a buffer and
catches something that a read verifier cannot. The first function sets
b_error anticipating that the low level buffer handling code will see
the nonzero b_error and clear XBF_DONE on the buffer, whereas the second
function does not.

Since xfs_dir3_free_header_check examines fields in the dir free block
header that require more context than can be provided to read verifiers,
we must call xfs_buf_mark_corrupt when it finds a problem.

Switching the calls has a secondary effect that we no longer corrupt the
buffer state by setting b_error and leaving XBF_DONE set. When /that/
happens, we'll trip over various state assertions (most commonly the
b_error check in xfs_buf_reverify) on a subsequent attempt to read the
buffer.
