> DESCRIPTION

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix bug_on in __es_tree_search Hulk Robot reported a BUG_ON: ================================================================== kernel BUG at fs/ext4/extents_status.c:199!

This was intended to skip the check on the first extent, but in the error image above, prev=0+1-1=0 when checking the second extent, so even though lblock<=prev, the function does not return an error. As a result, bug_ON occurs in __es_tree_search and the system panics. To solve this problem, we only need to check that: 1. The lblock of the first extent is not less than 0. 2. The lblock of the next extent is not less than the next block of the previous extent. The same applies to extent_idx.
