[PATCH 02/20] ext4: prevent partial update of the extents path

From: libaokun
Date: Wed Jul 10 2024 - 00:09:32 EST


From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx>

In ext4_ext_rm_idx() and ext4_ext_correct_indexes(), there is no proper
rollback of already executed updates when updating a level of the extents
path fails, so we may get an inconsistent extents tree, which may trigger
some bad things in errors=continue mode.

Hence clear the verified bit of modified extents buffers if the tree fails
to be updated in ext4_ext_rm_idx() or ext4_ext_correct_indexes(), which
forces the extents buffers to be checked in ext4_valid_extent_entries(),
ensuring that the extents tree is consistent.
