commit f0a459dec5495a3580f8d784555e6f8f3bf7f263 upstream. Avoid growing the file system to an extent so that the last block group is too small to hold all of the metadata that must be stored in the block group. This problem can be triggered with the following reproducer: umount /mnt mke2fs -F -m0 -b 4096 -t ext4 -O resize_inode,^has_journal \ -E resize=1073741824 /tmp/foo.img 128M mount /tmp/foo.img /mnt truncate --size 1708M /tmp/foo.img resize2fs /dev/loop0 295400 umount /mnt e2fsck -fy /tmp/foo.img Reported-by: Torsten Hilbrich <torsten.hilbrich@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
