Ah, I was staring at this for a while before I understood what's going on (it would be great to explain this in the changelog BTW). As far as I understand commit 665d3e0af4d3 ("ext4: reduce unnecessary memory allocation in alloc_flex_gd()") can actually make flex_gd->resize_bg larger than flexbg_size (for example when ogroup = flexbg_size, ngroup = 2*flexbg_size
- which then confuses things. I think that was not really intended and
instead of fixing up ext4_alloc_group_tables() we should really change the logic in alloc_flex_gd() to make sure flex_gd->resize_bg never exceeds flexbg size. Baokun?

Hi Honza,
Your analysis is absolutely correct. It's a bug! Thank you for locating this issue！ An extra 1 should not be added when calculating resize_bg in alloc_flex_gd().
Hi Aleksandr,
Could you help test if the following changes work?
I just got an internal bug report for this as well, and I can also confirm that the patch fixes my testcase, thanks! Feel free to add:

I had been trying to debug this and it felt like an off by one but I didn't get to a solution in time. ;)
Can you explain what the 2 cases under
/* Avoid allocating large 'groups' array if not needed */
are doing? I *think* the first 'if' is trying not to over-allocate for the last batch of block groups that get added during a resize. What is the "else if" case doing?
Thanks, -Eric
Thanks, Baokun
