The patch titled ext2: return after ext2_error in case of failures has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ext2-return-after-ext2_error-in-case-of-failures.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ext2: return after ext2_error in case of failures From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This fixes some instances where we were continuing after calling ext2_error. ext2_error call panic only if errors=panic mount option is set. So we need to make sure we return correctly after ext2_error call.
