Subject: [PATCH 0/2 -v2] resize2fs: fix up minimum size calculations

The second patch fixes up situations where the flex_bg calculations were
being over-optimistic.  We now assume that all of the metadata blocks in
the last flex_bg must be counted as overhead, since they can't be used
while we are shrinking the file system (so we can more easily recover if
resize2fs aborts for some reason).

I did say that fixing this was low priority, but why it was failing was
nagging at me, and I finally figured out what needed to be fixed.  :-)

Theodore Ts'o (2):
  resize2fs: fix overly-pessimistic calculation of minimum size required
  resize2fs: refine minimum required blocks for flex_bg file systems
