[PATCH 2/5] ext4: avoid duplicate writes of the backup bg descriptor blocks

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
Date: 2012-09-02 05:53:20
Subsystem: ext4 file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

From: Yongqiang Yang <redacted>

The resize code was needlessly writing the backup block group
descriptor blocks multiple times (once per block group) during an
online resize.
