commit b3e6bcb94590dea45396b9481e47b809b1be4afa upstream. Add a new flag, EXT4_IGET_EA_INODE which indicates whether the inode is expected to have the EA_INODE flag or not. If the flag is not set/clear as expected, then fail the iget() operation and mark the file system as corrupted. This commit also makes the ext4_iget() always perform the is_bad_inode() check even when the inode is already inode cache. This allows us to remove the is_bad_inode() check from the callers of ext4_iget() in the ea_inode code.

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.
