This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ext4: correct inconsistent error msg in nojournal mode to the 6.0-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ext4-correct-inconsistent-error-msg-in-nojournal-mod.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c93b92824096b71de4cc423d54c0c1855465b357 Author: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 9 15:43:43 2022 +0800 ext4: correct inconsistent error msg in nojournal mode [ Upstream commit 89481b5fa8c0640e62ba84c6020cee895f7ac643 ] When we used the journal_async_commit mounting option in nojournal mode, the kernel told me that "can't mount with journal_checksum", was very confusing. I find that when we mount with journal_async_commit, both the JOURNAL_ASYNC_COMMIT and EXPLICIT_JOURNAL_CHECKSUM flags are set. However, in the error branch, CHECKSUM is checked before ASYNC_COMMIT. As a result, the above inconsistency occurs, and the ASYNC_COMMIT branch becomes dead code that cannot be executed. Therefore, we exchange the positions of the two judgments to make the error msg more accurate.
