Above issue may happen as follows:

ext4_fill_super ext4_orphan_cleanup ext4_enable_quotas ext4_quota_enable ext4_iget --> get error inode <5> ext4_ext_check_inode --> Wrong imode makes it escape inspection make_bad_inode(inode) --> EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO set imode dquot_load_quota_inode vfs_setup_quota_inode --> check pass dquot_load_quota_sb v2_check_quota_file v2_read_header ext4_quota_read ext4_bread ext4_getblk ext4_map_blocks ext4_ext_map_blocks ext4_find_extent ext4_cache_extents ext4_es_cache_extent __es_tree_search.isra.0 ext4_es_end --> Wrong extents trigger BUG_ON

In the above issue, s_usr_quota_inum is set to 5, but inode<5> contains incorrect imode and disordered extents. Because 5 is EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO, the ext4_ext_check_inode check in the ext4_iget function can be bypassed, finally, the extents that are not checked trigger the BUG_ON in the __es_tree_search function. To solve this issue, check whether the inode is bad_inode in vfs_setup_quota_inode().
