4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit c65d5c6c81a1f27dec5f627f67840726fcd146de upstream.
If we encounter a filesystem error during orphan cleanup, we should stop.
Otherwise, we may end up in an infinite loop where the same inode is
processed again and again.
EXT4-fs (loop0): warning: checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended
EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:758: group 2, block bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: 6117 vs 0 free clusters
Aborting journal on device loop0-8.
EXT4-fs (loop0): Remounting filesystem read-only
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_free_blocks:4895: Journal has aborted
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_do_update_inode:4893: Journal has aborted
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_do_update_inode:4893: Journal has aborted
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_ext_remove_space:3068: IO failure
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_ext_truncate:4667: Journal has aborted
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_orphan_del:2927: Journal has aborted
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_do_update_inode:4893: Journal has aborted
EXT4-fs (loop0): Inode 16 (00000000618192a0): orphan list check failed!
