"offset" of the error message of ext4_check_dir_entry() might change the
meaning by the caller. There are 2 meanings:
- "File offset"
called by:
ext4_readdir, htree_dirblock_to_tree, search_dirblock, ext4_dx_find_entry,
empty_dir
- "Buffer offset"
called by:
add_dirent_to_buf, ext4_delete_entry
The best way to solve this problem is to change the meaning of
"Buffer offset" into "File offset" but it is not easy.
However, we can solve this problem easily if we unify the meanings into
"Buffer offset". So, instead of "File Offset" meaning, we add the block number
information to this message.

Error message which is changed by this patch:

This makes sense to fix.

I personally would prefer to see "block=78, offset=0" instead of the
above.

One problem here is that "(u64)" is not necessarily a "long long". On
some 64-bit platforms it will be a "long" and this will generate a
compiler warning. Better to use "(unsigned long long)", and you may
as well use "(unsigned)" for the offset value.

OK. I change it.

I understand. (u64 doesn't always mean "unsigned long long int")
I apply your all comment, and then I remake a patch.
