From: Kai Li <li.kai4@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a09decff5c32060639a685581c380f51b14e1fc2 ] If the journal is dirty when the filesystem is mounted, jbd2 will replay the journal but the journal superblock will not be updated by journal_reset() because JBD2_ABORT flag is still set (it was set in journal_init_common()). This is problematic because when a new transaction is then committed, it will be recorded in block 1 (journal->j_tail was set to 1 in journal_reset()). If unclean shutdown happens again before the journal superblock is updated, the new recorded transaction will not be replayed during the next mount (because of stale sb->s_start and sb->s_sequence values) which can lead to filesystem corruption.
