If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Pranay Kr. Srivastava" commit 4743f83990614af6adb09ea7aa3c37b78c4031ab upstream. If there are racing calls to ext4_commit_super() it's possible for another writeback of the superblock to result in the buffer being marked with an error after we check if the buffer is marked as having a write error and the buffer up-to-date flag is set again. If that happens mark_buffer_dirty() can end up throwing a WARN_ON_ONCE. Fix this by moving this check to write before we call write_buffer_dirty(), and keeping the buffer locked during this whole sequence. Signed-off-by: Pranay Kr.
