      ext4: fix header check in ext4_ext_search_right() for deep extent trees. · 395a87bf
      Eric Sandeen authored
      The ext4_ext_search_right() function is confusing; it uses a
      "depth" variable which is 0 at the root and maximum at the leaves, 
      but the on-disk metadata uses a "depth" (actually eh_depth) which
      is opposite: maximum at the root, and 0 at the leaves.
      
      The ext4_ext_check_header() function is given a depth and checks
      the header agaisnt that depth; it expects the on-disk semantics,
      but we are giving it the opposite in the while loop in this 
      function.  We should be giving it the on-disk notion of "depth"
      which we can get from (p_depth - depth) - and if you look, the last
      (more commonly hit) call to ext4_ext_check_header() does just this.
      
      Sending in the wrong depth results in (incorrect) messages
      about corruption:
      
      EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_ext_search_right: bad header
      in inode #2621457: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 340,
      max 340(0), depth 1(2)
