From: Ojaswin Mujoo <ojaswin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e4e58e5df309d695799c494958962100a4c25039 upstream. In __ext4_super() we always overwrote the user specified journal_ioprio value with a default value, expecting parse_apply_sb_mount_options() to later correctly set ctx->journal_ioprio to the user specified value. However, if parse_apply_sb_mount_options() returned early because of empty sbi->es_s->s_mount_opts, the correct journal_ioprio value was never set. This patch fixes __ext4_super() to only use the default value if the user has not specified any value for journal_ioprio. Similarly, the remount behavior was to either use journal_ioprio value specified during initial mount, or use the default value irrespective of the journal_ioprio value specified during remount. This patch modifies this to first check if a new value for ioprio has been passed during remount and apply it. If no new value is passed, use the value specified during initial mount.
