Ah, I was staring at this for a while before I understood what's going on
(it would be great to explain this in the changelog BTW).  As far as I
understand commit 665d3e0af4d3 ("ext4: reduce unnecessary memory allocation
in alloc_flex_gd()") can actually make flex_gd->resize_bg larger than
flexbg_size (for example when ogroup = flexbg_size, ngroup = 2*flexbg_size
- 1) which then confuses things. I think that was not really intended and
instead of fixing up ext4_alloc_group_tables() we should really change
the logic in alloc_flex_gd() to make sure flex_gd->resize_bg never exceeds
flexbg size. Baokun?

Hi Honza,

Your analysis is absolutely correct. It's a bug!
Thank you for locating this issue!
An extra 1 should not be added when calculating resize_bg in alloc_flex_gd().


Hi Aleksandr,

Could you help test if the following changes work?


Thanks,
Baokun
