Subject: [ 058/108] jbd: dont write superblock when unmounting an ro filesystem

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

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

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

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

commit 2e84f2641ea91a730642ead558a4ee3bd52310c9 upstream.

This sequence:

results in an IO error when unmounting the RO filesystem. The bug was
introduced by:

commit 9754e39c7bc51328f145e933bfb0df47cd67b6e9
Author: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>
Date:   Sat Apr 7 12:33:03 2012 +0200

    jbd: Split updating of journal superblock and marking journal empty

which lost some of the magic in journal_update_superblock() which
used to test for a journal with no outstanding transactions.

This is a port of a jbd2 fix by Eric Sandeen.
