3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit f96c3ac8dfc24b4e38fc4c2eba5fea2107b929d1 upstream. When computing maximum size of filesystem possible with given number of group descriptor blocks, we forget to include s_first_data_block into the number of blocks. Thus for filesystems with non-zero s_first_data_block it can happen that computed maximum filesystem size is actually lower than current filesystem size which confuses the code and eventually leads to a BUG_ON in ext4_alloc_group_tables() hitting on flex_gd->count == 0. The problem can be reproduced like: truncate -s 100g /tmp/image mkfs.ext4 -b 1024 -E resize=262144 /tmp/image 32768 mount -t ext4 -o loop /tmp/image /mnt resize2fs /dev/loop0 262145 resize2fs /dev/loop0 300000 Fix the problem by properly including s_first_data_block into the computed number of filesystem blocks.
