Thanks for the patch! It makes sense but it is somewhat inconsistent with
how we deal with other checks for metadata IO errors in ext4. We do those
checks in ext4 through ext4_check_bdev_write_error(). So I wonder if in
this case we shouldn't move the errseq_check_and_advance() in
__ext4_fill_super() earlier (before journal setup) and then use it in
ext4_load_and_init_journal() to detect errors during background metadata
writeback. What do you think?
