Subject: jbd2: don't write superblock when if its empty
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eeecef0af5ea4efd763c9554cf2bd80fc4a0efd3;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

jbd2: don't write superblock when if its empty

This sequence:

# truncate --size=1g fsfile
# mkfs.ext4 -F fsfile
# mount -o loop,ro fsfile /mnt
# umount /mnt
# dmesg | tail

results in an IO error when unmounting the RO filesystem:

[  318.020828] Buffer I/O error on device loop1, logical block 196608
[  318.027024] lost page write due to I/O error on loop1
[  318.032088] JBD2: Error -5 detected when updating journal superblock for loop1-8.

This was a regression introduced by commit 24bcc89c7e7c: "jbd2: split
updating of journal superblock and marking journal empty".
