Thanks. Here is what I came up with to tie the loose ends of this thread.

Subject: [PATCH] fsmonitor: do not compare bitmap size with size of split index

3444ec2e ("fsmonitor: don't fill bitmap with entries to be removed", 2019-10-11) added a handful of sanity checks that make sure that a bit position in fsmonitor bitmap does not go beyond the end of the index. As each bit in the bitmap corresponds to a path in the index, this is the right check most of the time.

Except for the case when we are in the split-index mode and looking at a delta index that is to be overlayed on the base index but before the base index has actually been merged in, namely in read_ and write_fsmonitor_extension(). In these codepaths, the entries in the split/delta index is typically a small subset of the entire set of paths (otherwise why would we be using split-index?), so the bitmap used by the fsmonitor is almost always larger than the number of entries in the partial index, and the incorrect comparison would trigger the BUG().
