From f9ae9cf5d72b3926ca48ea60e15bdbb840f42372 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 13:55:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: revert commit which was causing fs corruption after journal replays Commit 007649375f6af2 ("ext4: initialize multi-block allocator before checking block descriptors") causes the block group descriptor's count of the number of free blocks to become inconsistent with the number of free blocks in the allocation bitmap. This is a harmless form of fs corruption, but it causes the kernel to potentially remount the file system read-only, or to panic, depending on the file systems's error behavior. Thanks to Eric Whitney for his tireless work to reproduce and to find the guilty commit.
