Subject: [PATCH 3.16 72/99] ext4, jbd2: ensure panic when aborting with
 zero errno

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

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

From: "zhangyi (F)" <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

commit 51f57b01e4a3c7d7bdceffd84de35144e8c538e7 upstream.

JBD2_REC_ERR flag used to indicate the errno has been updated when jbd2
aborted, and then __ext4_abort() and ext4_handle_error() can invoke
panic if ERRORS_PANIC is specified. But if the journal has been aborted
with zero errno, jbd2_journal_abort() didn't set this flag so we can
no longer panic. Fix this by always record the proper errno in the
journal superblock.

Fixes: 4327ba52afd03 ("ext4, jbd2: ensure entering into panic after recording an error in superblock")
