[PATCH 3.12 27/60] ext4: preserve the needs_recovery flag when the journal is aborted

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Tue Mar 14 2017 - 09:29:48 EST


From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

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

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

commit 97abd7d4b5d9c48ec15c425485f054e1c15e591b upstream.

If the journal is aborted, the needs_recovery feature flag should not
be removed. Otherwise, it's the journal might not get replayed and
this could lead to more data getting lost.
