Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] ext4: fix a inode checksum error

We find a checksum error and a inode corruption problem while doing
stress test, this 4 patches address to fix them. The first patch is
relate to the error simulation, and the second & third patch are
prepare to do the fix. The last patch fix these two issue.

 - Checksum error

    EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_lookup:1784: inode #131074: comm cat: iget: checksum invalid

 - Inode corruption

    e2fsck 1.46.0 (29-Jan-2020)
    Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
    Pass 2: Checking directory structure
    Entry 'foo' in / (2) has deleted/unused inode 17.  Clear<y>? yes
    Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
    Pass 4: Checking reference counts
    Pass 5: Checking group summary information
    Inode bitmap differences:  -17
    Fix<y>? yes
    Free inodes count wrong for group #0 (32750, counted=32751).
    Fix<y>? yes
    Free inodes count wrong (32750, counted=32751).
    Fix<y>? yes

Change since v1:
 - Add a patch to prevent ext4_do_update_inode() return before filling
   the inode buffer.
 - Do not use BH_New flag to indicate the empty buffer, postpone the
   zero and uptodate logic into ext4_do_update_inode() before filling
   the inode buffer.

Thanks,
Yi.


Zhang Yi (4):
  ext4: move inode eio simulation behind io completeion
  ext4: remove an unnecessary if statement in __ext4_get_inode_loc()
  ext4: don't return error if huge_file feature mismatch
  ext4: prevent getting empty inode buffer
