Two different places checked for attempts to resize a filesystem with the bigalloc feature. Move the check into ext4_resize_begin, which both places already call. Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>Applied, thanks.
I'm going to have to revert this change, since it breaks online resizing for bigalloc file system. The issue is that ext4_resize_begin() is called from *three* places: for EXT4_IOC_GROUP_ADD, EXT4_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND, and EXT4_IOC_RESIZE_FS. The first two ioctls are used for the "old-style" online resize, and bigalloc is not supported for those two ioctls. However, it *is* supposed to work for EXT4_IOC_RESIZE_FS. Unfortunately, this just caused some tests to be skipped (assuming that this was an old kernel that didn't support this feature) and I didn't notice it right away. - Ted
