Hi Tao, I have integrated this with the the existing patch in dev branch (since it isn't in the master branch yet, and hence hasn't been locked down). I'm wondering though how you originally ran into this case, though. If there is no more room in the tree node, we should have never entered ext4_ext_extent_index() in the first place. Was this a theoretical concern or did you actually see this happen. And if so, was it due to a file system corruption, or another bug someplace else.
