--- Comment #6 from Theodore Tso (tytso@xxxxxxx) ---
Oops, ignore comment #5; this erroneously posted to the wrong bug.

Bug #199865 is triggered by the fact block group descriptors were corrupted due
to the fact that one of the allocation bitmaps overlapped with the block group
descriptors.  Then when a block bitmap needed to be initialized, the corrupted
block group descriptors resulted in the byte before the bitmap getting zero'ed.

This will be fixed via these patches:

    ext4: always check block group bounds in ext4_init_block_bitmap()
    ext4: make sure bitmaps and the inode table don't overlap with bg
descriptors
