Re: [PATCH 2/2] jbd2: fix descriptor block size handling errors with journal_csum

There may still be problems with this patch.  After applying to 3.16.1, I am now getting "can't enable checksumming v2 and v3 at the same time" errors on mount.  Initial mount/dismount work fine, but once fs is touched--forcing superblock update--it cannot be mounted anew.

Note results from dumpe2fs  (without recent patches)

Journal backup:           inode blocks
Checksum type:            crc32c
Checksum:                 0x39141b69
Journal features:         journal_incompat_revoke journal_64bit journal_async_commit journal_checksum_v2 FEATURE_I4
Journal size:             128M
Journal length:           32768
Journal sequence:         0x00012aa4
Journal start:            0
Journal checksum type:    crc32c
Journal checksum:         0x3952b695

Seems that the old v2 flag is not cleared on dismount?

Thanks, applied.
