==================================================================

Above issue may happen as follows:
-------------------------------------
ext4_xattr_set
ext4_xattr_set_handle
ext4_xattr_ibody_find
>> s->end < s->base
>> no EXT4_STATE_XATTR
>> xattr_check_inode is not executed
ext4_xattr_ibody_set
ext4_xattr_set_entry
>> size_t min_offs = s->end - s->base
>> UAF in memcpy

we can easily reproduce this problem with the following commands:
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sda
mount -o debug_want_extra_isize=128 /dev/sda /mnt
touch /mnt/file
setfattr -n user.cat -v `seq -s z 4096|tr -d '[:digit:]'` /mnt/file

In ext4_xattr_ibody_find, we have the following assignment logic:
header = IHDR(inode, raw_inode)
= raw_inode + EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE + i_extra_isize
is->s.base = IFIRST(header)
= header + sizeof(struct ext4_xattr_ibody_header)
is->s.end = raw_inode + s_inode_size

In ext4_xattr_set_entry
min_offs = s->end - s->base
= s_inode_size - EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE - i_extra_isize -
sizeof(struct ext4_xattr_ibody_header)
last = s->first
free = min_offs - ((void *)last - s->base) - sizeof(__u32)
= s_inode_size - EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE - i_extra_isize -
sizeof(struct ext4_xattr_ibody_header) - sizeof(__u32)

In the calculation formula, all values except s_inode_size and
i_extra_size are fixed values. When i_extra_size is the maximum value
s_inode_size - EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE, min_offs is -4 and free is -8.
The value overflows. As a result, the preceding issue is triggered when
memcpy is executed.

EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE extra_isize header entry pad data
|---------------------------|------------|------|---------|---|--------|

As shown above, when adding an xattr to an inode, we must ensure that the
inode_size is not less than EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE + extra_isize + pad.
