Subject: [PATCH] resize2fs: move bitmaps if shrinking would orphan them

It is possible to have a flex_bg filesystem with block groups
which have inode & block bitmaps at some point well past the
start of the group.

If an offline shrink puts the new size somewhere between
the start of the block group and the (old) location of
the bitmaps, they can be left beyond the end of the filesystem,
i.e. result in fs corruption.

Check each remaining block group for whether its bitmaps
are beyond the end of the new filesystem, and reallocate
them in a new location if needed.

I have no idea if this is the right approach or not ;)
