Following process may lead to fs corruption:
1. ext4_create(dir/foo)
ext4_add_nondir
ext4_add_entry
ext4_dx_add_entry
a. add_dirent_to_buf
ext4_mark_inode_dirty
ext4_handle_dirty_metadata // dir inode bh is recorded into journal
b. ext4_append // dx_get_count(entries) == dx_get_limit(entries)
ext4_bread(EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CREATE)
ext4_getblk
ext4_map_blocks
ext4_ext_map_blocks
ext4_mb_new_blocks
dquot_alloc_block
dquot_alloc_space_nodirty
inode_add_bytes // update dir's i_blocks
ext4_ext_insert_extent
ext4_ext_dirty // record extent bh into journal
ext4_handle_dirty_metadata(bh)
// record new block into journal
inode->i_size += inode->i_sb->s_blocksize // new size(in mem)
c. ext4_handle_dirty_dx_node(bh2)
// record dir's new block(dx_node) into journal
d. ext4_handle_dirty_dx_node((frame - 1)->bh)
e. ext4_handle_dirty_dx_node(frame->bh)
f. do_split // ret err!
g. add_dirent_to_buf
ext4_mark_inode_dirty(dir) // update raw_inode on disk(skipped)
2. fsck -a /dev/sdb
drop last block(dx_node) which beyonds dir's i_size.
/dev/sdb: recovering journal
/dev/sdb contains a file system with errors, check forced.
/dev/sdb: Inode 12, end of extent exceeds allowed value
(logical block 128, physical block 3938, len 1)
3. fsck -fn /dev/sdb
dx_node->entry[i].blk > dir->i_size
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Problem in HTREE directory inode 12 (/dir): bad block number 128.
Clear HTree index? no
Problem in HTREE directory inode 12: block #3 has invalid depth (2)
Problem in HTREE directory inode 12: block #3 has bad max hash
Problem in HTREE directory inode 12: block #3 not referenced
Fix it by marking inode dirty directly inside ext4_append().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
