Subject: EXT4-fs error (device sda5) in ext4_update_backup_sb:165: Filesystem
 failed CRC

Hi,

the errors at the end of this mail come from one of my test boxes booted
with latest Linus:

8f4dd16603ce ("Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)")

+ tip/master.

A second boot into the same kernel says:

[    5.427329] EXT4-fs (sda5): warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended
[    5.435681] EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Quota mode: disabled.
...

[  316.621377] EXT4-fs (sda5): error count since last fsck: 14
[  316.621645] EXT4-fs (sda5): initial error at time 1651146136: ext4_update_backup_sb:165
[  316.621948] EXT4-fs (sda5): last error at time 1651146136: ext4_update_backup_sb:165

And it used to work fine with rc3:

EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Quota mode: disabled.

so before I go and fsck the partition, I thought I should report it
first - maybe something new in ext4 land is not behaving as it should...

And since rc3 I see:

$ git log --oneline v5.18-rc3.. fs/ext4/
c00c5e1d157b Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus_stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4
eb7054212eac ext4: update the cached overhead value in the superblock

a2b0b205d125 ext4: fix symlink file size not match to file content
ad5cd4f4ee4d ext4: fix fallocate to use file_modified to update permissions consistently

so there is something which just got applied...
