[PROBLEM]
There is a user report in the mail list, showing the following corrupted
tree blocks:
item 62 key (486836 DIR_ITEM 2543451757) itemoff 6273 itemsize 74
location key (4065004 INODE_ITEM 1073741824) type FILE
transid 21397 data_len 0 name_len 44
name: FILENAME
Note that location key, its offset should be 0 for all INODE_ITEMS.
This caused failed lookup of the inode.
[CAUSE]
That offending value, 1073741824, is 0x40000000. So this looks like a
memory bit flip.
[FIX]
This patch will enhance tree-checker to check location key of
DIR_INDEX/DIR_ITEM/XATTR_ITEM.
There are several different combinations needs to check:
- item_key.type == DIR_INDEX/DIR_ITEM
* location_key.type == BTRFS_INODE_ITEM_KEY
This location_key should follow the check in inode_item check.
* location_key.type == BTRFS_ROOT_ITEM_KEY
Despite the existing check, DIR_INDEX/DIR_ITEM can only points to
subvolume trees.
* All other keys are not allowed.
- item_key.type == XATTR_ITEM
location_key should be all 0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
