Title:
  grub 2.12~rc1 fails to load files from large directories on XFS

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in grub2 package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Multi-extent directories are not parsed correctly by grub's XFS code in 2.12~rc1, preventing it from loading files from directories with too many entries, such as the grub module directory.

  This should only affect BIOS systems as they need to load the core
  grub modules from the module directory, whereas UEFI systems have them
  embedded in the ESP EFI image.

  [Test plan]
  TBD

  [Where problems could occur]
  TBD
