It is used to represent\n    special extents such as sparse extents (!EROFS_MAP_MAPPED), but\n    previously only plen == 0 was handled;\n\n  - The second one [2] has pa 0xffffffffffdcffed and plen 0xb4000,\n    then \"cur [0xfffffffffffff000] += bvec.bv_len [0x1000]\" in\n    \"} while ((cur += bvec.bv_len) < end);\" wraps around, causing an\n    out-of-bound access of pcl->compressed_bvecs[] in\n    z_erofs_submit_queue().
