btrfs: tree-checker: validate names in ROOT_REF and ROOT_BACKREF

Browse source

ROOT_REF and ROOT_BACKREF items contain a struct btrfs_root_ref followed
by the subvolume name. Several readers assume that this layout is already
valid and then use the on-disk name length directly. A corrupted item can
therefore make those readers address bytes outside the item, and
BTRFS_IOC_GET_SUBVOL_INFO can copy too many bytes into its fixed-size UAPI
name buffer.

Validate ROOT_REF and ROOT_BACKREF items in tree-checker before any reader
uses them. Reject records that do not contain a non-empty name, whose
name_len does not exactly describe the remaining item payload, or whose
name exceeds BTRFS_NAME_LEN.

For BTRFS_IOC_GET_SUBVOL_INFO, copy only the validated on-disk name_len
instead of deriving the copy length from the item size. The ioctl result is
zeroed when allocated. That leaves the existing trailing zero byte
untouched.
