Subject: [patch 119/149] ext4: check s_log_groups_per_flex in online resize code

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com>

commit 42007efd569f1cf3bfb9a61da60ef6c2179508ca upstream.

If groups_per_flex < 2, sbi->s_flex_groups[] doesn't get filled out,
and every other access to this first tests s_log_groups_per_flex;
same thing needs to happen in resize or we'll wander off into
a null pointer when doing an online resize of the file system.

Thanks to Christoph Biedl, who came up with the trivial testcase:

# truncate --size 128M fsfile
# mkfs.ext3 -F fsfile
# tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index,flex_bg,huge_file,dir_nlink,extra_isize fsfile
# e2fsck -yDf -C0 fsfile
# truncate --size 132M fsfile
# losetup /dev/loop0 fsfile
# mount /dev/loop0 mnt
# resize2fs -p /dev/loop0
