Hi Stefan,

> The following command triggers a segfault in search_dir:
> ./sandbox/u-boot -c 'host bind 0 ./sandbox/test/fs/3GB.ext4.img ;
>     ext4write host 0 0 /./foo 0x10'
> 
> The following command triggers a segfault in check_filename:
> ./sandbox/u-boot -c 'host bind 0 ./sandbox/test/fs/3GB.ext4.img ;
>     ext4write host 0 0 /. 0x10'
> 
> "." is the first entry in the directory, thus previous_dir is NULL.
> The whole previous_dir block in search_dir seems to be a bad copy from
> check_filename(...). As the changed data is not written to disk, the
> statement is mostly harmless, save the possible NULL-ptr reference.
> 
> Typically a file is unlinked by extending the direntlen of the
> previous entry. If the entry is the first entry in the directory
> block, it is invalidated by setting inode=0.
> 
> The inode==0 case is hard to trigger without crafted filesystems. It
> only hits if the first entry in a directory block is deleted and
> later a lookup for the entry (by name) is done.
