[PATCH 3.16 098/212] ext4: preserve the needs_recovery flag when the journal is aborted

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Thu Jun 01 2017 - 12:12:41 EST


3.16.44-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

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.
