    ext4: fix argument checking in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT · f18b2b83
    Theodore Ts'o authored
    If the starting block number of either the source or destination file
    exceeds the EOF, EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT should return EINVAL.
    
    Also fixed the helper function mext_check_coverage() so that if the
    logical block is beyond EOF, make it return immediately, instead of
    looping until the block number wraps all the away around.  This takes
    long enough that if there are multiple threads trying to do pound on
    an the same inode doing non-sensical things, it can end up triggering
    the kernel's soft lockup detector.
