            Bug ID: 207165
           Summary: Persistent ext4_search_dir: bad entry in directory:
                    directory entry too close to block end
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 5.5.16
          Hardware: Intel
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: ext4
          Assignee: fs_ext4@...nel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: el@...ns.net
        Regression: No

Since 5.5 I started getting persistent hits at the check added in 109ba779d6cca
(ext4: check for directory entries too close to block end).  It is 100%
reproducible when running docker containers on overlayfs2.  Here's an example
log entry:

kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-0): ext4_search_dir:1395: inode #28320400:
block 113246792: comm dockerd: bad entry in directory: directory entry too
close to block end - offset=0, inode=28320403, rec_len=32, name_len=8,
size=4096
dockerd[5315]: time="2020-04-08T11:03:35.148433258-07:00" level=error
msg="Error removing mounted layer
c520f6ce1d0b493e51aa9cdaea2240c6f65f104c3da8fb9767999dc526086f85: unlinkat
/var/lib/docker/overlay2/01c0c02ee4841227fefe595eeef8912fee32bc2b63a2264cb513f924e6366950/diff/tmp/apt-key-gpghome.TauCtRwzyD:
directory not empty"

To clarify, this error happened elsewhere as well, so this doesn't seem to be
overlayfs2-specific.

At first I thought that my filesystem was borked somehow, so I went so far as
to reformat the partition, but that didn't help.
