From: Ye Bin <yebin10@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 9b6641dd95a0c441b277dd72ba22fed8d61f76ad upstream. We got issue as follows: [home]# mount /dev/sda test EXT4-fs (sda): warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended [home]# dmesg EXT4-fs (sda): warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended EXT4-fs (sda): Errors on filesystem, clearing orphan list. EXT4-fs (sda): recovery complete EXT4-fs (sda): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Quota mode: none. [home]# debugfs /dev/sda debugfs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021) Checksum errors in superblock! Retrying... Reason is ext4_orphan_cleanup will reset ‘s_last_orphan’ but not update super block checksum. To solve above issue, defer update super block checksum after ext4_orphan_cleanup.
