Following Andreas's suggestion, I found that ext2fs_set_gdt_csum()
was the culprit: it used an ext2_group_desc pointer to access/set
fields and it did that directly, not through access functions.

I'm testing the patch now, but it'll take a while, so again I'm sending
it out for comments and to possibly try out. Even if it checks out, it
will need some additional care once the flags situation settles down.

cool, thanks.

yep this would explain the bug (any direct access would I guess)

With this on top of my patch stack, my testcase passes, until I allocate something high enough that I run into yet another 32-bit overflow somewhere ;)

Ted, want me to collate these into a proper patch series? I have one more direct access fix as well. (and then things like ext2ed & e2imgge etc all need a thorough going-over too....)

We really must make these structs opaque or something or it will be endless pain...

Minor comments below.

Thanks,
Nick

Subject: [PATCH] Fix ext2fs_set_gdt_csum() to use access functions.

Replace all field accesses with calls to access functions.
Most importantly, get rid of the mis-declared group descriptor
pointer which caused the wrong fields to be updated.

Not quite sure what you mean by this?  It worked ok for the "old" size ...

ditto

also, strictly, csum & flags are 16 bits, unused is (today) 64 bits ....

extra blank line?
