    ext4: Use the ext4_ext_actual_len() helper function · b939e376
    Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
    ext4 uses the high bit of the extent length to encode whether the extent
    is intialized or not. The helper function ext4_ext_get_actual_len should
    be used to get the actual length of the extent.
