[ 048/122] ext4: avoid duplicate writes of the backup bg descriptor blocks

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 10 2012 - 19:10:45 EST


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

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

From: Yongqiang Yang <xiaoqiangnk@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 2ebd1704ded88a8ae29b5f3998b13959c715c4be upstream.

The resize code was needlessly writing the backup block group
descriptor blocks multiple times (once per block group) during an
online resize.
