Bryan Donlan 4d6c13f87d ext2: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inode
ext2_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly.  However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such
that a directory entry references a deleted inode.  This leads to a
misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the
part of the admin.

The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a
link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.

This patch thus changes ext2_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext2_iget(), as ext2 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is
detected.
