+Subject: ext4: fix false negatives *and* false positives in
+ ext4_check_descriptors()
+
+Ext4_check_descriptors() was getting called before s_gdb_count was
+initialized. So for file systems w/o the meta_bg feature, allocation
+bitmaps could overlap the block group descriptors and ext4 wouldn't
+notice.
+
+For file systems with the meta_bg feature enabled, there was a
+fencepost error which would cause the ext4_check_descriptors() to
+incorrectly believe that the block allocation bitmap overlaps with the
+block group descriptor blocks, and it would reject the mount.
+
+Fix both of these problems.
