If call ext4_ext_insert_extent failed but new extent already inserted, we just
update "ex->ee_len = orig_ex.ee_len", this will lead to extent overlap, then
cause bug on when cache extent.
Thanks for the patch but I'm still not quite sure, how overlapping extents
in the extent tree can lead to triggering BUG_ON(lblk + len - 1 < lblk) in
ext4_es_cache_extent(). Can you ellaborate a bit more how this happens?
Assume that there is extent [10, 100] (ee_block=10 ee_len=91), call ext4_split_extent_at split at 50,
we get two extent [10, 49] and [50, 100], then call ext4_ext_insert_extent to insert new extent [50, 100],
if insert extent successed, but call ext4_ext_dirty failed(return -EROFS) as JBD maybe abort as io error.
Then fix old extent length with old value, so we get two extent [10, 100] (ee_block=10 ee_len=91) and
[50, 100](ee_block=50 ee_len=51).
If call ext4_cache_extent to cache above extents as follow:
prev = 0 lblk = 10 len = 91 --> cache [10, 100] ---> prev = lblk + len = 101
prev = 101 lblk = 50 len = 51 --> prev != 0 && prev != lblk --> cache [prev = 101, lblk - prev = 50 - 101 = -51]
Obvious if call ext4_es_cache_extent cache extent[101, -51] wil trigger "BUG_ON(end < lblk)" .
If call ext4_ext_insert_extent failed don't update ex->ee_len with old value.
Maybe there will lead to block leak, but it can be fixed by fsck later.

After we fixed above issue with v2 patch, but we got the same issue.
ext4_split_extent_at:
{
......
err = ext4_ext_insert_extent(handle, inode, ppath, &newex, flags);
if (err == -ENOSPC && (EXT4_EXT_MAY_ZEROOUT & split_flag)) {
......
ext4_ext_try_to_merge(handle, inode, path, ex); ->step(1)
err = ext4_ext_dirty(handle, inode, path + path->p_depth); ->step(2)
if (err)
goto fix_extent_len;
......
}
......
fix_extent_len:
ex->ee_len = orig_ex.ee_len; ->step(3)
......
}
If step(1) have been merged, but step(2) dirty extent failed, then go to
fix_extent_len label to fix ex->ee_len with orig_ex.ee_len. But "ex" may not be
old one, will cause overwritten. Then will trigger the same issue as previous.
If step(2) failed, just return error, don't fix ex->ee_len with old value.

I fail to see why EROFS is special here. Can you explain a bit please?
V1 patch Ted suggest me to fix length only when "err != -EROSFS". As if we don't
fix origin extent with old extent length, it will lead to block leak.
Ted said as follow:

If you don't want to do that, then a "do no harm" fix would be
something like this:

...
} else if (err == -EROFS) {
return err;
} else if (err)
goto fix_extent_len;

So in the journal abort case, when err is set to EROFS, we don't try
to reset the length, since in theory the file system is read-only
already anyway. However, in the ENOSPC case, we won't end up silently
leaking blocks that will be lost until the user somehow decides to run
fsck.
