[PATCH 2/3] ext4: fix corrupt backup group descriptors after online resize

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In commit 9a8c5b0d0615 ("ext4: update the backup superblock's at the end
of the online resize"), it is assumed that update_backups() only updates
backup superblocks, so each b_data is treated as a backupsuper block to
update its s_block_group_nr and s_checksum. However, update_backups()
also updates the backup group descriptors, which causes the backup group
descriptors to be corrupted.

The above commit fixes the problem of invalid checksum of the backup
superblock. The root cause of this problem is that the checksum of
ext4_update_super() is not set correctly. This problem has been fixed
in the previous patch ("ext4: fix bad checksum after online resize").
Therefore, roll back some modifications in the above commit.

Fixes: 9a8c5b0d0615 ("ext4: update the backup superblock's at the end of the online resize")
