As\ncommit 131294c35ed6 fixed delayed allocation bug in ext4_clu_mapped for\nbigalloc + inline. But it only resolved issue when has inline data, if\ninline data has been converted to extent(ext4_da_convert_inline_data_to_extent)\nbefore writepages, there is no EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag. However\ni_data is still store inline data in this scene. Then will trigger UAF\nwhen find extent.\nTo resolve above issue, there is need to add judge \"ext4_has_inline_data(inode)\"\nin ext4_clu_mapped().",
