Message-ID: <BAY179-W1203B52FCFC4FE2CA267BDFDCF0@phx.gbl> Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2014 16:30:41 -0400 From: TR Reardon <thomas_reardon@...mail.com> To: "darrick.wong@...cle.com" <darrick.wong@...cle.com>, "linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org" <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org> Subject: tune2fs -O ^metadata_csum not checking bitmap failures When running tune2fs -O ^metadata_csum, disable_uninit_bg() is called to reset the gdt. However, return value is not checked, which allows a failure (say, a block bitmap failure somewhere, among other errors) to continue through to rewrite_metadata_checksums() This seems wrong; should not the rewrite occur only if disable/enable_uninit_bg() succeeds? +Reardon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
