suggestion in:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-ext4/patch/[email protected]/
“I see. Now I understand your patch. Honestly, seeing how fragile is trying
to fix extent tree after split has failed in the middle, I would probably
go even further and make sure we fix the tree properly in case of ENOSPC
and EDQUOT (those are easily user triggerable). Anything else indicates a
HW problem or fs corruption so I’d rather leave the extent tree as is and
don’t try to fix it (which also means we will not create overlapping
extents).”
