From: Shida Zhang <zhangshida@xxxxxxxxxx> With the configuration PAGE_SIZE 64k and filesystem blocksize 64k, a problem occurred when more than 13 million files were directly created under a directory: EXT4-fs error (device xx): ext4_dx_csum_set:492: inode #xxxx: comm xxxxx: dir seems corrupt? Run e2fsck -D. EXT4-fs error (device xx): ext4_dx_csum_verify:463: inode #xxxx: comm xxxxx: dir seems corrupt? Run e2fsck -D. EXT4-fs error (device xx): dx_probe:856: inode #xxxx: block 8188: comm xxxxx: Directory index failed checksum When enough files are created, the fake_dirent->reclen will be 0xffff. it doesn't equal to the blocksize 65536, i.e. 0x10000. But it is not the same condition when blocksize equals to 4k. when enough file are created, the fake_dirent->reclen will be 0x1000. it equals to the blocksize 4k, i.e. 0x1000. The problem seems to be related to the limitation of the 16-bit field when the blocksize is set to 64k. To address this, Modify the check so as to handle it properly.
