In the check_inode_item function, the extent_end variable used to store the end of the last file extent that has checked. When it passes to check_file_extent, if the offset of the next file extent is not equal to it, there is a gap between the two file extents.
In the case of a gap existing, it is wrong that only add the extent_num_bytes of this file extent to the invalid extent_end variable as before. Therefore, lowmem check will false alert that there are gaps between the subsequent file extents of this inode due to the wrong extent_end variable. Solution: The extent_end variable should set to the sum of the offset and the extent_num_bytes of the file extent. Example: Suppose that lowmem check the following file extent of inode 257. item 6 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 0) itemoff 15813 itemsize 53 generation 6 type 1 (regular) extent data disk byte 13631488 nr 4096 extent data offset 0 nr 4096 ram 4096 extent compression 0 (none) item 7 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 8192) itemoff 15760 itemsize 53 generation 6 type 1 (regular) extent data disk byte 13631488 nr 4096 extent data offset 0 nr 4096 ram 4096 extent compression 0 (none) item 8 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 12288) itemoff 15707 itemsize 53 generation 6 type 1 (regular) extent data disk byte 13631488 nr 4096 extent data offset 0 nr 4096 ram 4096 extent compression 0 (none) For inode 257, check_inode_item set extent_end to 0, then call check_file_extent to check item {6,7,8}. item 6) offset(0) == extent_end(0) extent_end = extent_end(0) + extent_num_bytes(4096) item 7) offset(8192) != extent_end(4096) extent_end = extent_end(4096) + extent_num_bytes(4096) ^^^ The old extent_end should replace by offset(8192). item 8) offset(12288) != extent_end(8192) ^^^ But there is no gap between item {7,8}.
