Since this is duplicating a lot of code from ext4_group_extend(), this patch should be written in such a way that this new function is added, and the duplicate code is removed from ext4_group_extend() and calls the new function instead. It looks like all of these patches are adding a completely duplicate set of functions for doing the resizing, even though they are largely the same as the existing code, and it will mean duplicate efforts to maintain both copies of the code. > Signed-off-by: Yongqiang Yang > --- > fs/ext4/resize.c | 53 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 1 files changed, 53 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/fs/ext4/resize.c b/fs/ext4/resize.c > index 707d3f1..6ffbdb6 100644 > --- a/fs/ext4/resize.c > +++ b/fs/ext4/resize.c > @@ -969,6 +969,59 @@ exit_put: > } /* ext4_group_add */ > > /* > + * extend a group without checking assuming that checking has been done. > + */ > +static int __ext4_group_extend(struct super_block *sb, > + ext4_fsblk_t o_blocks_count, ext4_grpblk_t add) > +{ > + struct ext4_super_block *es = EXT4_SB(sb)->s_es; > + handle_t *handle; > + int err = 0, err2; > + > + /* We will update the superblock, one block bitmap, and > + * one group descriptor via ext4_ext4_group_add_blocks().
