Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 0/3] ext4: enhance extent consistency check

Thanks, I've applied this patch series.  You're right, we are always
updating the index node.  There is a comment that we might try to skip
updating the index in some cases, but it's probably better to always
update the index node since we can count on knowing what logical
blocks could be mentioned in the leaf nodes.
