This reverts commit d988201ef9.
The problem with this commit is that causes common small file system
configurations to fail. For example:
mke2fs -O flex_bg -b 4096 -I 1024 -F /tmp/tt 79106
mke2fs 1.42.11 (09-Jul-2014)
/tmp/tt: Invalid argument passed to ext2 library while setting
up superblock
This check in ext2fs_initialize() was added to prevent the metadata
from being allocated beyond the end of the filesystem, but it is
also causing a wide range of failures for small filesystems.
We'll address this in a different way, by using a smarter algorithm
for deciding the layout of metadata blocks for the last flex block
group.

In mke2fs command, if flex_bg count is too large to filesystem blocks
count, unmountable ext4 which has the out of filesystem block offset
is created (Case1). Moreover this large flex_bg count causes an
unintentional metadata layout (bmap-imap-itable-bmap-imap-itable .. in
block group) (Case2).
To fix these issues and keep healthy flex_bg layout, disallow creating
ext4 with obviously large flex_bg count to filesystem blocks count.
Steps to reproduce:
(Case1)
1.
# mke2fs -t ext4 -b 4096 -O ^resize_inode -G $((2**20)) DEV 2130483
2.
# mount -t ext4 DEV MP
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb4,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

In practice, it is **extremely** rare for users to try to use more
than the first backup superblock located at the beginning of block
group #1. (i.e., at block number 32768 for file systems with a 4k
block size). This new compat feature restricts the backup superblock
to block group #1 and the last block group in the file system.
Aside from reducing the overhead of the file system by a small number
of blocks, by eliminating the rest of the backup superblocks, it
allows us to have a much more flexible metadata layout. For example,
we can force all of the allocation bitmaps and inode table blocks to
the beginning of the disk, which allows most of the disk to be
exclusively used for contiguous data blocks.
This simplifies taking advantage of certain HDD specific features,
such as Shingled Magnetic Recording (aka Shingled Drives), and the
TCG's OPAL Storage Specification where having a simple mapping between
LBA block ranges and the data blocks used by the file system can make
life much simpler.

The s_desc_size in the superblock specifies the group descriptor
size in bytes, but in various places the EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT
flag implies that the descriptor size is EXT2_MIN_DESC_SIZE_64BIT
(64 bytes) instead of checking the actual size. In other places,
the s_desc_size field is used without checking for INCOMPAT_64BIT.
In the case of ext2fs_group_desc() the s_desc_size was being ignored,
and assumed to be sizeof(struct ext4_group_desc), which would result
in garbage for any but the first group descriptor. Similarly, in
ext2fs_group_desc_csum() and print_csum() they assumed that the
maximum group descriptor size was sizeof(struct ext4_group_desc).
Fix these functions to use the actual superblock s_desc_size if
INCOMPAT_64BIT.
Conversely, in ext2fs_swap_group_desc2() s_desc_size was used
without checking for INCOMPAT_64BIT being set.
The e2fsprogs behaviour is different than that of the kernel,
which always checks INCOMPAT_64BIT, and only uses s_desc_size to
determine the offset of group descriptors and what range of bytes
to checksum.
Allow specifying the s_desc_size field at mke2fs time with the
"-E desc_size=NNN" option. Allow a power-of-two s_desc_size
value up to s_blocksize if INCOMPAT_64BIT is specified. This
is not expected to be used by regular users at this time, so it
is not currently documented in the mke2fs usage or man page.
Add m_desc_size_128, f_desc_size_128, and f_desc_bad test cases to
verify mke2fs and e2fsck handling of larger group descriptor sizes.

mke2fs -m option can set reserved blocks ratio up to 50%. But if the
last block group is not big enough to support the necessary data
structures, it gets dropped, we have to recalculate the number of
reserved blocks so that the reserved blocks matches the requested
percentage.
It also avoids a problem where if the user specifies a reserved blocks
of 50%, and after the last partial block group was dropped, if the
number of reserved blocks is greater than 50%, e2fsck will complain.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a FS which has the overhead for the last BG
and specify 50 % for reserved blocks ratio
# mke2fs -m 50 -t ext4 DEV 1025M
mke2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
warning: 256 blocks unused.

656640 inodes, 2621440 blocks
1310848 blocks (50.00%) reserved for the super user
~~~~~~~ <-- Reserved blocks exceed 50% of FS blocks count!
2. e2fsck outputs filesystem corruption
# e2fsck DEV

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:

The following commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo count=1 ibs=$(( 256 * 1024 * 1024 ))
mke2fs -N 256 -t ext4 /tmp/foo
... will cause mke2fs to write until it fills the device. The cause
for this is that the explicit request for 256 inodes causes the number
of inodes per block group to be 8. The ext2fs_initialize() function
assumed that all of the reserved inodes would be in the first block
group, which is not true in this case. This caused the number of
uninitialized inodes in the first block group to be negative, which
then resulted in mke2fs trying to zero out a very large number of
blocks. Oops.

The DEFS line in MCONFIG had gotten so long that it exceeded 4k, and
this was starting to cause some tools heartburn. It also made "make
V=1" almost useless, since trying to following the individual commands
run by make was lost in the noise of all of the defines.
So fix this by putting the configure-generated defines in lib/config.h
and the directory pathnames to lib/dirpaths.h.
In addition, clean up some vestigal defines in configure.in and in the
Makefiles to further shorten the cc command lines.

The dump program relies on fs->frag_size and the
EXT2_FRAGS_PER_BLOCK() macro. Kind of silly for it to do so, but it's
part of the kludgy way the dump program (which was originally written
for the BSD FFS was ported over to support ext2/3.) Given how it
makes assumptions about the ext2/3/4 file system being similar to the
BSD FFS, it's a bit of a miracle it works for ext4 --- or at least
appears to work...

ext2fs_alloc_generic_bmap". And with that patch, the mkfs.ext4 will
fail with the error: /dev/sdb3: Memory allocation failed while setting

The reason is that in ext2fs_initialize, we align s_inodes_per_group
to 8, but fails to consider the case that s_inodes_per_group < 8.
So make at least 8 inodes for s_inodes_per_group.

The forced fsck often comes at unexpected and inopportune moments,
and even enterprise customers are often caught by surprise when
this happens. Because a filesystem with an error condition will
be marked as requiring fsck anyway, I submit that the time-based
and mount-based checks are not particularly useful, and that
administrators can schedule fscks on their own time, or tune2fs
the enforced intervals if they so choose. This patch disables the
intervals by default, and I've added a new mkfs.conf option to
turn on the old behavior of random, unexpected, time-consuming
fscks at boot time. ;)

The ext2fs_bg_flag* functions were confusing.
Currently we have this:
void ext2fs_bg_flags_set(ext2_filsys fs, dgrp_t group, __u16 bg_flags);
void ext2fs_bg_flags_clear(ext2_filsys fs, dgrp_t group,__u16 bg_flags);
(_set (unused) sets exactly bg_flags; _clear clears all and ignores bg_flags)
and these, which can twiddle individual bits in bg_flags:
void ext2fs_bg_flag_set(ext2_filsys fs, dgrp_t group, __u16 bg_flag);
void ext2fs_bg_flag_clear(ext2_filsys fs, dgrp_t group, __u16 bg_flag);
A better interface, after the patch below, is just:
ext2fs_bg_flags_zap(fs, group) /* zeros bg_flags */
ext2fs_bg_flags_set(fs, group, flags) /* adds flags to bg_flags */
ext2fs_bg_flags_clear(fs, group, flags) /* clears flags in bg_flags */
and remove the original ext2fs_bg_flags_set / ext2fs_bg_flags_clear.
