4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7bc9491645118c9461bd21099c31755ff6783593 upstream.
Although the extent tree depth of 5 should enough be for the worst
case of 2*32 extents of length 1, the extent tree code does not
currently to merge nodes which are less than half-full with a sibling
node, or to shrink the tree depth if possible. So it's possible, at
least in theory, for the tree depth to be greater than 5. However,
even in the worst case, a tree depth of 32 is highly unlikely, and if
the file system is maliciously corrupted, an insanely large eh_depth
can cause memory allocation failures that will trigger kernel warnings
(here, eh_depth = 65280):
