We got follow bug_on when run fsstress with injecting IO fault: [130747.323114] kernel BUG at fs/ext4/extents_status.c:762! [130747.323117] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] SMP ......

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.
