Thanks for reporting this. Although at the moment we don't support
changing the inode size for flex_bg file systems, we may at some point
in the future --- and the inode size can never be larger than the
block size. So I simplified your change by removing the ^flex_bg check.

Subject: [PATCH] tune2fs: disallow tune2fs to set inode size larger than
block size
Disallow tune2fs command to set the inode size to be larger than the
block size. Without this patch, tune2fs makes the file system to be
unmountable.
Steps to reproduce:
1.Create ext4 without flex_bg (or just create ext3)
# mke2fs -t ext4 -O ^flex_bg DEV
2.Set inode size larger than block size
# tune2fs -I 8192 DEV
3. We failed to mount FS
# mount DEV MP
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda7,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
