Repair might encounter an inode with a totally garbage i_mode. To fix
this problem, we have to figure out if the file was a regular file, a
directory, or a special file. One way to figure this out is to check if
there are any directories with entries pointing down to the busted file.
This patch recovers the file mode by scanning every directory entry on
the filesystem to see if there are any that point to the busted file.
If the ftype of all such dirents are consistent, the mode is recovered
from the ftype. If no dirents are found, the file becomes a regular
file. In all cases, ACLs are canceled and the file is made accessible
only by root.
A previous patch attempted to guess the mode by reading the beginning of
the file data. This was rejected by Christoph on the grounds that we
cannot trust user-controlled data blocks. Users do not have direct
control over the ondisk contents of directory entries, so this method
should be much safer.
If all the dirents have the same ftype, then we can translate that back
into an S_IFMT flag and fix the file. If not, reset the mode to
S_IFREG.
