In 4fd30c033, we move the range check before we change ix to avoid the memory stamp.
But actually we should check against the EXT_MAX_INDEX, not EXT_LAST_INDEX.

So this patch revert the old patch and adds a new check before we setting ix.

Ted, since 4fd30c033 is in your dev branch, I am fine to integrate these 2 patches to one.

Hi Tao,

I think original LAST_INDEX check aims to verify all index entries are
contiguous, because max entries bas been checked by eh_entries >=
ex_max in previous code.

Actually I do not think we need a verification here.  The code is
short and we know that index entries are contiguous.

Hi Tao,

I have integrated this with the the existing patch in dev branch (since
it isn't in the master branch yet, and hence hasn't been locked down).

I'm wondering though how you originally ran into this case, though.
If there is no more room in the tree node, we should have never
entered ext4_ext_extent_index() in the first place.  Was this a
theoretical concern or did you actually see this happen.  And if so,
was it due to a file system corruption, or another bug someplace else.

Thanks,

						- Ted

We have met with some corruption, but not sure whether it is related to
this or not. To be honest, we went through the code and find that this
may be a possible cause. So if you think it could never happen, we are
OK to drop this patch.

Thanks

I have no problem adding sanity checks; it makes for more robust code.
I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a real bug hiding somewhere
that wasn't getting addressed.
