  I think this is the same problem Vegard reported in
http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=121637999611618&w=2.
  The problem seems to be in ext2_valid_block_bitmap() which does

  bitmap_blk = le32_to_cpu(desc->bg_block_bitmap);
  offset = bitmap_blk - group_first_block;
  if (!ext2_test_bit(offset, bh->b_data))

  (and similarly for inode bitmap). Now when the group descriptor is
corrupted, this simply accesses beyond the bh->b_data...
  The patch below should hopefully fix the issue. Can you test it
please?

Subject: [PATCH] ext2: Check for corrupted group descriptor before using data in it

We have to check whether a group descriptor isn't corrupted in
read_block_bitmap(). Otherwise ext2_valid_block_bitmap() will try
to access bits outside of bitmap and Oops happens.
