From 5a792c4579af8466246408e38fd4eff45d8493b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Chinner Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2008 17:40:09 +1100 Subject: [XFS] XFS: Check for valid transaction headers in recovery When we are about to add a new item to a transaction in recovery, we need to check that it is valid first. Currently we just assert that header magic number matches, but in production systems that is not present and we add a corrupted transaction to the list to be processed. This results in a kernel oops later when processing the corrupted transaction. Instead, if we detect a corrupted transaction, abort recovery and leave the user to clean up the mess that has occurred.
