Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2022 22:54:39 -0400 From: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@....edu> To: Ext4 Developers List <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Fariya F <fariya.fatima03@...il.com>, "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@....edu>, stable@...nel.org Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ext4: force overhead calculation if the s_overhead_cluster makes no sense If the file system does not use bigalloc, calculating the overhead is cheap, so force the recalculation of the overhead so we don't have to trust the precalculated overhead in the superblock.
