From 665d19ec7bcc2d578e2fa2701f7399a6a965b086 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Steinhardt Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2025 13:52:18 +0100 Subject: midx: fix `BUG()` when getting preferred pack without a reverse index The function `midx_preferred_pack()` returns the preferred pack for a given multi-pack index. To compute the preferred pack we: 1. Take the first position indexed by the MIDX in pseudo-pack order. 2. Convert this pseudo-pack position into the MIDX position. 3. We then look up the pack that corresponds to this MIDX position. This reliably returns the preferred pack given that all of its contained objects will be up front in pseudo-pack order. The second step that turns the pseudo-pack order into MIDX order requires the reverse index though, which may not exist for example when the MIDX does not have a bitmap. And in that case one may easily hit a bug: BUG: ../pack-revindex.c:491: pack_pos_to_midx: reverse index not yet loaded In theory, `midx_preferred_pack()` already knows to handle the case where no reverse index exists, as it calls `load_midx_revindex()` before calling into `midx_preferred_pack()`. But we only check for negative return values there, even though the function returns a positive error code in case the reverse index does not exist. Fix the issue by testing for a non-zero return value instead, same as all the other callers of this function already do. While at it, document the return value of `load_midx_revindex()`.
