PATCH 1/1 mkfs.xfs: don't increase agblocks past maximum

RH QA discovered this bug:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create 4 TB - 1 B partition
dd if=/dev/zero of=x.img bs=1 count=0 seek=4398046511103
2. Create xfs fs with 512 B block size on the partition mkfs.xfs -b size=512 xfs.img

Actual results:
Agsize is computed incorrectly resulting in fs creation fail:
agsize (2147483648b) too big, maximum is 2147483647 blocks

This is due to the "rounding up" at the very end of the calculations; there may be other places to alleviate the problem, but it seems most obvious to simply skip the rounding up if it would create too many blocks in the AG. Worst case, we lose 1 block per AG.

The fix is the right way about it.

This may seem petty, but I think this would be better:

	blocks = dblocks >> shift
	if (blocks & xfs_mask32lo(shift)) {
		if (blocks < XFS_AG_MAX_BLOCKS(blocklog))
			blocks++;
	}

It emphasizes more why we'd be doing the increment, plus I'd rather see a "real" increment rather than adding a Boolean value.

Either way:

Yes, that's probably better. More code change ... making it more readable.

I'll check it in that way (or, maybe you can, since I can't reach the git repo)?

Thanks,

OK, I will check it into oss.sgi.com using the code the way I suggested.

Can we please get this into xfstests, just doing the mkfs on a sparse file should be enough.
