ext2: correct max file size computing
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We need to calculate the max file size accurately if the total blocks
that can address by block tree exceed the upper_limit. But this check is
not correct now, it only compute the total data blocks but missing
metadata blocks are needed. So in the case of "data blocks < upper_limit
&& total blocks > upper_limit", we will get wrong result. Fortunately,
this case could not happen in reality, but it's confused and better to
correct the computing.
