Actually yes, it is. Good point. Sami, is it the case that you have
mounted the filesystem, then intentionally corrupted it and after that
the kernel oopsed (as opposed to first corrupting the filesystem image and
mounting it after that)? That would explain how corrupted values could get
to read_block_bitmap() even though ext2_check_descriptors() checked them.
