4.6-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.
