Please avoid the line over 80 characters.

Again please avoid the overly long line.

I think this is still problematic because 'path' is being updated in the
above loop as well so this will still access beyond the end of the array.
So I think you first need to modify ext4_ext_rm_idx() to leave 'path' alone
and just index it like ext4_ext_correct_indexes() does it (separate patch
please) and then add this error recovery path.

Yes that's good. But that will not run your new error handling code at all,
will it? It would be good if you also ran the reproducer that presumably
triggered these fixes to exercise the new code...
