I am doing the check in ext4_iget while reading the inode from disk.

You're right, there is a check. I didn't notice that, because ext4_iget() doesn't return an error.

I'd propose to change that to:

	if (ei->i_flags & EXT4_EXTENTS_FL) {
		/* Validate extent which is part of inode */
		if ((ret = ext4_ext_check_inode(inode)))
			goto bad_inode;
	}

Kind regards,
