Mass inflation is the growth of the interior effective mass and curvature near an inner Cauchy horizon under suitably perturbed black-hole data. It can obstruct regular spacetime extensions that exist for an exact Reissner-Nordstrom spacetime. The extension regularity matters: curvature blowup alone does not rule out every continuous-metric extension.
