[PATCH v2] ntfs: Ensure $Extend is a directory

From: Soumya Negi
Date: Tue Jul 26 2022 - 20:15:38 EST


Fix Syzbot bug: kernel BUG in ntfs_lookup_inode_by_name
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=32cf53b48c1846ffc25a185a2e92e170d1a95d71

Check whether $Extend is a directory or not( for NTFS3.0+) while
loading system files. If it isn't(as in the case of this bug where the
mft record for $Extend contains a regular file), load_system_files()
returns false.
