[PATCH 3.16 088/366] ext4: fix fencepost error in check for inode count overflow during resize

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Nov 11 2018 - 15:13:18 EST


3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit 4f2f76f751433908364ccff82f437a57d0e6e9b7 upstream.

ext4_resize_fs() has an off-by-one bug when checking whether growing of
a filesystem will not overflow inode count. As a result it allows a
filesystem with 8192 inodes per group to grow to 64TB which overflows
inode count to 0 and makes filesystem unusable. Fix it.
