Details

Summary

Now the comput_sb_data() function checks on-disk superblock data fields more carefully. Also, the cylinder group validation function is added.
It should decrease ability to mount filesystems with corrupted superblock data.

Test Plan

Typical fsx/fstorture tests to avoid regression.
