From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> For readlink of slow symlinks, an IO error when reading the link target cause memory corruption. This happens because the error case for ext2fs_file_read closes the file, translates the error, but then jumps down to the regular termination code, which re-closes the file and is hence a UAF. Straighten out the error paths to eliminate the UAF. Also fix the bug that short target reads aren't flagged as corruption as is done in the kernel.
