Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: validate xattr header in ocfs2_validate_inode_block
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git for-kernelci
Add validation of inline xattr header fields when validating inode
blocks to catch corruption early before the inode is used by the
system. This prevents corrupted xattr counts from causing out-of-bounds
access and use-after-free bugs in xattr processing code.
The validation checks:
1. xattr_inline_size does not exceed block size
2. xattr_inline_size is large enough for header structure
3. xattr entry count does not exceed available space
This moves validation to the inode block validation stage, providing
comprehensive protection for all code paths that access inline xattrs.
