syzbot reported a use-after-free Read in ext4_find_extent that is hit when using a corrupted file system. The bug was reported on Android 5.15, but using the same reproducer triggers the bug on v6.2-rc1 as well.
Fix the use-after-free by checking the extent header magic. An alternative would be to check the values of EXT4_{FIRST,LAST}_{EXTENT,INDEX} used in ext4_ext_binsearch() and ext4_ext_binsearch_idx(), so that we make sure that pointers returned by EXT4_{FIRST,LAST}_{EXTENT,INDEX} don't exceed the bounds of the extent tree node. But this alternative will not squash the bug for the cases where eh->eh_entries fit into eh->eh_max. We could also try to check the sanity of the path, but costs more than checking just the header magic, so stick to the header magic sanity check.

This is (incompletely) validating the extent header in the inode. Isn't that supposed to happen when the inode is loaded? See how __ext4_iget() calls ext4_ext_check_inode(). Why isn't that working here?

Seems that __ext4_iget() is not called on writes. You can find below the sequence of calls that leads to the bug. The debug was done on v6.2-rc1. I assume the extents check is no longer done on writes since commit 7a262f7c69163cd4811f2f838faef5c5b18439c9. The commit doesn't specify the reason though.
Cheers, ta

It is called when the inode is first accessed. Usually that's when the file is opened.
So the question is why didn't it validate the inode's extent header, or alternatively how did the inode's extent header get corrupted afterwards.
You can find below the sequence of calls that leads to the bug.
A stack trace is not a reproducer. Things must have happened before that point.

Okay, thanks.

I will try to dig more to understand what's happening. If you like to take a look into the reproducer, here it is: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=ReproC&x=17beb560480000
The reproducer was used for Android 5.15 and the bug is reported at [1], but as I mentioned earlier, using the same reproducer and config I hit the bug on v6.2-rc1 as well.
Thanks for the help. ta

Commit 7a262f7c6916 no longer does the check if the inode is already in memory (which is the case when there is an open file descriptor). That's because it should have been checked when it was first read into memory.
So the the question is, did the inode get corrupted somehow after it was read in from disk? If so that's the real problem, and that's what needs to be root caused and fixed. It's not sufficient to just to make the syzbot reproducer only longer reproduce. The question is understanding what is fundamentally going on and fixing the real root problem.
