From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx> The maximum length of a filename is 255 and the minimum block size is 1024, so it is always guaranteed that the number of entries is greater than or equal to 2 when do_split() is called. So unless ext4_dx_add_entry() and make_indexed_dir() or some other functions are buggy, 'split == 0' will not occur. Setting 'continued' to 0 in this case masks the problem that the file system has become corrupted, even though it prevents possible out-of-bounds access. Hence WARN_ON_ONCE() is used to check if 'split' is 0, and if it is then warns and returns an error to abort split.
