Subject: Why can not we trust free blocks count in BLOCK_UNINIT group descriptor

Hi,

Now ext4 gets free blocks count directly from a group descriptor
without BLOCK_UNINIT, however calculates free blocks count for a group
descriptor with BLOCK_UNINIT via ext4_init_block_bitmap().   The group
descriptors with BLOCK_UNINIT have group check sums.   Now comes the
question,  why do not we get it directly from group descriptor?

Yongqiang.
