[PATCH 5.9 346/391] ext4: fix bdev write error check failed when mount fs with ro

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Nov 03 2020 - 16:46:12 EST


From: Zhang Xiaoxu <zhangxiaoxu5@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9704a322ea67fdb05fc66cf431fdd01c2424bbd9 upstream.

Consider a situation when a filesystem was uncleanly shutdown and the
orphan list is not empty and a read-only mount is attempted. The orphan
list cleanup during mount will fail with:

ext4_check_bdev_write_error:193: comm mount: Error while async write back metadata

This happens because sbi->s_bdev_wb_err is not initialized when mounting
the filesystem in read only mode and so ext4_check_bdev_write_error()
falsely triggers.

Initialize sbi->s_bdev_wb_err unconditionally to avoid this problem.

Fixes: bc71726c7257 ("ext4: abort the filesystem if failed to async write metadata buffer")
