I found this in resize/resize2fs.c.unused_group_blocks
/*
* Resizing a filesystem consists of the following phases:
*
* 1. Adjust superblock and write out new parts of the inode
* table
* 2. Determine blocks which need to be relocated, and copy the
* contents of blocks from their old locations to the new ones.
* 3. Scan the inode table, doing the following:
* a. If blocks have been moved, update the block
* pointers in the inodes and indirect blocks to
* point at the new block locations.
* b. If parts of the inode table need to be evacuated,
* copy inodes from their old locations to their
* new ones.
* c. If (b) needs to be done, note which blocks contain
* directory information, since we will need to
* update the directory information.
* 4. Update the directory blocks with the new inode locations.
* 5. Move the inode tables, if necessary.
