Subject: ext4: fix overflow when updating superblock backups after resize
From: Jan Kara <[email protected]>
commit 9378c6768e4fca48971e7b6a9075bc006eda981d upstream.
When there are no meta block groups update_backups() will compute the
backup block in 32-bit arithmetics thus possibly overflowing the block
number and corrupting the filesystem. OTOH filesystems without meta
block groups larger than 16 TB should be rare. Fix the problem by doing
the counting in 64-bit arithmetics.
