+Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix check to prevent initializing reserved inodes
+
+Commit 8844618d8aa7: "ext4: only look at the bg_flags field if it is
+valid" will complain if block group zero does not have the
+EXT4_BG_INODE_ZEROED flag set. Unfortunately, this is not correct,
+since a freshly created file system has this flag cleared. It gets
+almost immediately after the file system is mounted read-write --- but
+the following somewhat unlikely sequence will end up triggering a
+false positive report of a corrupted file system:
+
+ mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdc
+ mount -o ro /dev/vdc /vdc
+ mount -o remount,rw /dev/vdc
+
+Instead, when initializing the inode table for block group zero, test
+to make sure that itable_unused count is not too large, since that is
+the case that will result in some or all of the reserved inodes
+getting cleared.
+
+This fixes the failures reported by Eric Whiteney when running
+generic/230 and generic/231 in the the nojournal test case.
+
