[PATCH 3.2 023/199] ext4: add sanity checking to count_overhead()

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Fri Mar 10 2017 - 07:11:04 EST


3.2.87-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

commit c48ae41bafe31e9a66d8be2ced4e42a6b57fa814 upstream.

The commit "ext4: sanity check the block and cluster size at mount
time" should prevent any problems, but in case the superblock is
modified while the file system is mounted, add an extra safety check
to make sure we won't overrun the allocated buffer.
