ext4: fix off by one issue in alloc_flex_gd()
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix off by one issue in alloc_flex_gd()
Wesley reported an issue:
================================================================== EXT4-fs (dm-5): resizing filesystem from 7168 to 786432 blocks ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/ext4/resize.c:324!

While reviewing the patch, Honza found that when adjusting resize_bg in alloc_flex_gd(), it was possible for flex_gd->resize_bg to be bigger than flexbg_size.
The reproduction of the problem requires the following:
o_group = flexbg_size * 2 * n; o_size = (o_group + 1) * group_size; n_group: [o_group + flexbg_size, o_group + flexbg_size * 2) o_size = (n_group + 1) * group_size;
Take n=0,flexbg_size=16 as an example:
last:15 |o---------------|--------------n-| o_group:0 resize to n_group:30
The corresponding reproducer is:
img=test.img rm -f $img truncate -s 600M $img mkfs.ext4 -F $img -b 1024 -G 16 8M dev=losetup -f --show $img mkdir -p /tmp/test mount $dev /tmp/test resize2fs $dev 248M
Delete the problematic plus 1 to fix the issue, and add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to prevent the issue from happening again.
[ Note: another reproucer which this commit fixes is:
img=test.img rm -f $img truncate -s 25MiB $img mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -E nodiscard,lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 $img truncate -s 3GiB $img dev=losetup -f --show $img mkdir -p /tmp/test mount $dev /tmp/test resize2fs $dev 3G umount $dev losetup -d $dev
