From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit 31562b954b60f02acb91b7349dc6432d3f8c3c5f upstream. The sanity check in mb_find_extent() only checked that returned extent does not extend past blocksize * 8, however it should not extend past EXT4_CLUSTERS_PER_GROUP(sb). This can happen when clusters_per_group < blocksize * 8 and the tail of the bitmap is not properly filled by 1s which happened e.g. when ancient kernels have grown the filesystem.
