Oh, so this was something that was found using Syzkaller.  Was this
using the public syzkaller; if so, can you provide a link the
Syzkaller report?

If this was a from privately run syzkaller instance, was there a C
reproducer?  It appears that this was from a fuzzed instance, and it's
painful enoguh to extract the file system image from the C reproducer.
I have no idea how to extract the file system image from a Syzkaller
reproducer.

In any case, it sounds like this was triggered from a maliciously
corrupted / fuzzed image.  Can this warning be triggered from a
consistent file system, or does it require a corrupted extent tree?
