[PATCH 3.12 016/142] jbd2: fix infinite loop when recovering corrupt journal blocks

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Fri Sep 26 2014 - 06:38:26 EST


From: "Darrick J. Wong" <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 022eaa7517017efe4f6538750c2b59a804dc7df7 upstream.

When recovering the journal, don't fall into an infinite loop if we
encounter a corrupt journal block. Instead, just skip the block and
return an error, which fails the mount and thus forces the user to run
a full filesystem fsck.
