From 07be778c70149321f785611a9c50125b904b0508 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srivathsa Dara Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2024 13:13:29 +0000 Subject: ext4: enable meta_bg only when new desc blocks are needed This patch addresses an issue observed when resize_inode is disabled and an online extension of a filesysyem is performed. When a filesystem is expanded to a size that does not require a addition of a new descriptor block, the meta_bg feature is being enabled even though no part of the filesystem uses this layout. This patch ensures that the meta_bg feature is only enabled if any of the added block groups utilize meta_bg layout.
