Subject: Re: [syzbot] [ext4?] KASAN: use-after-free Read in ext4_find_extent (4)

Hello,

syzbot has tested the proposed patch but the reproducer is still triggering an issue:
KASAN: use-after-free Read in ext4_find_extent

loop0: detected capacity change from 0 to 1024
EXT4-fs: Ignoring removed oldalloc option
EXT4-fs: Ignoring removed orlov option
EXT4-fs (loop0): stripe (1570) is not aligned with cluster size (16), stripe is disabled
