[PATCH] libparted: uninit_bg and flex_bg features should indicate ext4

Colin Watson cjwatson at ubuntu.com

According to tune2fs(8), the uninit_bg and flex_bg features are only
supported by ext4, so libparted should treat their presence as
indicating ext4.  Reported by C de-Avillez in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/561599.

* libparted/fs/ext2/ext2_fs.h: Define EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM
and EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_FLEX_BG.
* libparted/fs/ext2/interface.c (_ext2_generic_probe): Test for
EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM and EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_FLEX_BG when
probing for ext4.
* tests/t1700-ext-probe.sh: Test for this.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.

   Similarly, msdos_partition_get_flag(p,PED_PARTITION_HIDDEN) always returns 0
   for an extended partition.

+  libparted uses a more accurate heuristic to distinguish between
+  ext4 and ext3 partitions.

 ** Changes in behavior

   libparted no longer issues an exception/warning about >512-byte
