I noticed booting a system with an ext4 root which expanded to 5T took
quite a long time (12 minutes in some cases, 43(!) in others.)
I changed stage-1 to run `resize2fs -d 62` for extra debug output and
timing information. It revealed the adjust_superblock step taking
almost all of the time:
[Fri Oct 30 11:10:15 UTC 2020] zero_high_bits_in_metadata: Memory used: 132k/0k (63k/70k), time: 0.00/ 0.00/ 0.00

but when I ran resize2fs on a disk with the identical content growing
to the identical target size, it would only take about 30 seconds. I
looked at what happened between those two steps in the fast case with
strace and found:
```

```
In particular the access to /sys/fs seemed interesting. Looking
at the source of resize2fs:
```
[root@ip-172-31-22-182:~/e2fsprogs-1.45.5]# rg -B2 -A1 /sys/fs/ext4/features/lazy_itable_init .
./resize/resize2fs.c
923- if (getenv("RESIZE2FS_FORCE_LAZY_ITABLE_INIT") ||
924- (!getenv("RESIZE2FS_FORCE_ITABLE_INIT") &&
925: access("/sys/fs/ext4/features/lazy_itable_init", F_OK) == 0))
926- lazy_itable_init = 1;
```
I confirmed /sys is mounted, and then found a bug suggesting the
ext4 module is maybe not loaded:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1071909
My home server doesn't have ext4 loaded and had 3T to play with, so
I tried (and succeeded with) replicating the issue locally:
```
[root@kif:/scratch]# lsmod | grep -i ext

here it got stuck for quite some time ... straceing this 20 minutes in revealed this in a tight loop:
```
getuid() = 0
geteuid() = 0
getgid() = 0
getegid() = 0
prctl(PR_GET_DUMPABLE) = 1 (SUID_DUMP_USER)

it finally ended 43(!) minutes later:

I then cleaned up and recreated the zvol, loaded the ext4 module, created the ext4 fs,
resized the volume, and resize2fs'd and it went quite quickly:
```
[root@kif:/scratch]# zfs destroy rpool/scratch/ext4
