From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@huawei.com>

In ext4_find_extent(), path may be freed by error or be reallocated, so
using a previously saved *ppath may have been freed and thus may trigger
use-after-free, as follows:

ext4_split_extent
  path = *ppath;
  ext4_split_extent_at(ppath)
  path = ext4_find_extent(ppath)
  ext4_split_extent_at(ppath)
    // ext4_find_extent fails to free path
    // but zeroout succeeds
  ext4_ext_show_leaf(inode, path)
    eh = path[depth].p_hdr
    // path use-after-free !!!

Similar to ext4_split_extent_at(), we use *ppath directly as an input to
ext4_ext_show_leaf(). Fix a spelling error by the way.

Same problem in ext4_ext_handle_unwritten_extents(). Since 'path' is only
used in ext4_ext_show_leaf(), remove 'path' and use *ppath directly.

This issue is triggered only when EXT_DEBUG is defined and therefore does
not affect functionality.

Looks good. Feel free to add:

I'd just note that this shows that modifying ppath in the called function
was not a great idea as it makes possible use-after-free issues due to
cached values being used very hard to spot and very easy to introduce...

Hi Honza,

Thank you very much for your review!

Yes, it was too confusing, which is why I dropped all ppaths after fixing
the problem. Judging and using the returned path every time would
make the code look a lot simpler.

Thanks,
Baokun
