When the inode is in extent format, it can't have more extents that fit in the inode fork. We don't currenty check this, and so this corruption goes unnoticed by the inode verifiers. This can lead to crashes operating on invalid in-memory structures. Attempts to access such a inode will now error out in the verifier rather than allowing modification operations to proceed.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
