Subject: [PATCH 3.18 39/85] ext4: fix fencepost error in check for inode count overflow during resize

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

commit 4f2f76f751433908364ccff82f437a57d0e6e9b7 upstream.

ext4_resize_fs() has an off-by-one bug when checking whether growing of
a filesystem will not overflow inode count. As a result it allows a
filesystem with 8192 inodes per group to grow to 64TB which overflows
inode count to 0 and makes filesystem unusable. Fix it.
