I was very tempted to integrate this during this merge window, since
it only touches the online resize code, and it was pretty easy to test
it.  And, it would have been nice to have the new online resize
support released at about the same time as e2fsprogs 1.42, especially
it's much faster and handles flex_bg correctly.

Unfortunately, I tried testing both with the old and new resize2fs
binaries, and in both cases after created a stock ext4 filesystem
using the mke2fs.conf defaults as shipped with e2fsprogs, resized the
file system, and umounted the file system, the e2fsck reported file
system corruption.

I'm guesing you didn't test with the uninit_bg feature?  And it looks
like something is going wrong with the block bitmap in the last block
group.

I've put the online-resize patches with some cleanup work and some
changes so it would patch cleanly and compile into the end of the ext4
patch tree in the ext4 patch queue repository:

      git://repo.or.cz/ext4-patch-queue.git

On the whole the patch series seemed well written, but it looks like
it needs just a bit more polishing.  Hopefully we can get this fixed
up after the current merge window closes, and we can put it at the
beginning of the patches for the next merge window.
