[PATCH RESEND] ocfs2: fix a misuse a of brelse after failing ocfs2_check_dir_entry

[Changwei Ge]

From: Changwei Ge <ge.changwei@h3c.com>

Somehow, file system metadata was corrupted, which causes
ocfs2_check_dir_entry() to fail in function ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_el().

According to the original design intention, if above happens we should
skip the problematic block and continue to retrieve dir entry. But there
is obviouse misuse of brelse around related code.

After failure of ocfs2_check_dir_entry(), currunt code just moves to next
position and uses the problematic buffer head again and again during
which the problematic buffer head is released for multiple times. I
suppose, this a serious issue which is long-lived in ocfs2. This may
cause other file systems which is also used in a the same host insane.

So we should also consider about bakcporting this patch into
linux -stable.

I guess return is more appropriate than break here as it will cause double
free buffer:

"
ctx->pos = (ctx->pos | (sb->s_blocksize - 1)) + 1;
brelse(bh);
break;
"

"
brelse(bh);
bh = NULL;
if (!persist && stored)
	break;
"

Hi Jun,

Thanks for looking into this, my code from Linux mainline is not looked like yours...

Linux mainline should not have 'brelse(bh)', could your please rebase your tree?
