The changes for the extent parsing looks good to me. But, I am not sure about this change:

> +             if (filename + direntry->len - 1 > (char *) end)

Looking at the grub_xfs_next_de(), should the ‘+1’ be ‘+3’?

grub_xfs_next_de(struct grub_xfs_data *data, struct grub_xfs_dir2_entry *de)
{
  int size = sizeof (struct grub_xfs_dir2_entry) + de->len + 2 /* Tag */;

  if (data->hasftype)
    size++;             /* File type */
  return (struct grub_xfs_dir2_entry *)(((char *)de) + ALIGN_UP(size, 8));
}

Thanks,

Lidong

Yes it sovles the issue, the box boots.


I posted an updated v3 version of the patch:
