If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From f1eec3b0d0a849996ebee733b053efa71803dad5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ritesh Harjani <riteshh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2020 15:00:38 +0530 Subject: ext4: check for non-zero journal inum in ext4_calculate_overhead From: Ritesh Harjani <riteshh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit f1eec3b0d0a849996ebee733b053efa71803dad5 upstream. While calculating overhead for internal journal, also check that j_inum shouldn't be 0. Otherwise we get below error with xfstests generic/050 with external journal (XXX_LOGDEV config) enabled. It could be simply reproduced with loop device with an external journal and marking blockdev as RO before mounting.
