Now, 'es->s_state' maybe covered by recover journal. And journal errno
maybe not recorded in journal sb as IO error. ext4_update_super() only
update error information when 'sbi->s_add_error_count' large than zero.
Then 'EXT4_ERROR_FS' flag maybe lost.
To solve above issue commit error information after recover journal.

Hum, I'm not sure I follow here. If journal replay has overwritten the
superblock (and thus the stored error info), then I'd expect
es->s_error_count got overwritten (possibly to 0) as well. And this is
actually relatively realistic scenario with errors=remount-ro behavior when
the first fs error happens.

What I intended in my original suggestion was to save es->s_error_count,
es->s_state & EXT4_ERROR_FS, es->s_first_error_*, es->s_last_error_* before
doing journal replay in ext4_load_journal() and then after journal replay
merge this info back to the superblock
Actually,commit 1c13d5c08728 ("ext4: Save error information to the superblock for analysis") already merged error info back to the superblock after journal replay except 'es->s_state'. The problem I have now is that the error flag in the journal superblock was not recorded, but the error message was recorded in the superblock. So it leads to ext4_clear_journal_err() does not detect errors and marks the file system as an error. Because ext4_update_super() is only set error flag when 'sbi->s_add_error_count > 0'. Although 'sbi->s_mount_state' is
written to the super block when umount, but it is also conditional.
So I handle the scenario "es->s_error_count && !jbd2_journal_errno(journal) &&
!(le16_to_cpu(es->s_state) & EXT4_ERROR_FS)". Maybe we can just store
'EXT4_SB(sb)->s_mount_state & EXT4_ERROR_FS' back to the superblock. But i
prefer to mark fs as error if it contain detail error info without EXT4_ERROR_FS.
- if EXT4_ERROR_FS was set, set it
now as well, take max of old and new s_error_count, set s_first_error_* if
it is now unset, set s_last_error_* if stored timestamp is newer than
current timestamp.

Or am I overengineering it now? :)
