Which kernel do I need to use ext4 64-bit.

I asked this question on linux-ext3 and apparently I cannot post it there as moderator has to approve it, and he is neither approving or disapproving my message. May be the list is dormant now and everything happens here. Any way here is my question.

Is there a kernel version restriction for 64bit ext4 FS creation/use? Google does not seem to find any info on this. I have mythbuntu 14.04 distro that has
zym [rramesh] 473 > uname -a
Linux zym 3.13.0-119-generic #166-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 3 12:18:55 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Can I create a 64bit ext4 under this kernel and mount/use?

BTW, my resize2fs cannot grow the file system beyond 16TB. I assume this is due to current FS being 32bit. I need to make it 64bit. What is the best way to go about doing this *on my distro*?
zym [rramesh] 474 > resize2fs
resize2fs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)
Usage: resize2fs [-d debug_flags] [-f] [-F] [-M] [-P] [-p] device [new_size]
