ext4_handle_error EXT4_SB(sb)->s_mount_state |= EXT4_ERROR_FS; if remount-ro ext4_commit_super(sb); As you can see, when the filesystem error in the kernel, the last sb commit not record the journal, So sb->s_state will be overwritten by journal recover. In some cases , modifying metadata and superblock data are placed in two transactions, if the previous transaction is already in the journal, and ext4_handle_error occurs when updating sb, the filesystem is still error even if the journal is recovered(I know that this situation should not occur in theory, but I encountered this error when testing quota. Therefore, I think we cannot fully rely on the kernel). So when the filesystem is error before the journal recover, keep the error state and perform deep check later.
