Every time I look at this I have new comments. The surrounding code
is confusing to read, IMHO, so don't take it too hard. ;)

I'll go ahead and:
Reviewed-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx>
so hopefully we can get this in & fix the bug.
but I have one more suggestion, which could be done as a cleanup later
on (I think the check_*_bitmaps could use a fair bit of cleanup for
clarity):
/*
* If the last inode is free, we can discard it as well.
*/
if (inodes >= first_free)
e2fsck_discard_inodes(ctx, group, first_free,
inodes - first_free + 1);
could/should probably be something like:
if (inodes == first_free)
e2fsck_discard_inodes(ctx, group, inodes, 1);
I _think_ this case should only, ever, handle the last inode in the
group, right?
