ext4: fix fs corruption when tring to remove a non-empty directory with IO error
commit
7aab5c84a0f6ec2290e2ba4a6b245178b1bf949a upstream.
We inject IO error when rmdir non empty direcory, then got issue as follows:
step1: mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sda
step2: mount /dev/sda test
step3: cd test
step4: mkdir -p 1/2
step5: rmdir 1
[ 110.920551] ext4_empty_dir: inject fault

step6: cd ..
step7: umount test
step8: fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sda

ext4_rmdir
if (!ext4_empty_dir(inode))
goto end_rmdir;
ext4_empty_dir
bh = ext4_read_dirblock(inode, 0, DIRENT_HTREE);
if (IS_ERR(bh))
return true;
Now if read directory block failed, 'ext4_empty_dir' will return true, assume
directory is empty. Obviously, it will lead to above issue.
To solve this issue, if read directory block failed 'ext4_empty_dir' just
return false. To avoid making things worse when file system is already
corrupted, 'ext4_empty_dir' also return false.
