[PATCH 4.7 40/41] ext4: short-cut orphan cleanup on error

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com>

commit c65d5c6c81a1f27dec5f627f67840726fcd146de upstream.

If we encounter a filesystem error during orphan cleanup, we should stop.
Otherwise, we may end up in an infinite loop where the same inode is
processed again and again.

    EXT4-fs (loop0): warning: checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended
    EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:758: group 2, block bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: 6117 vs 0 free clusters
    Aborting journal on device loop0-8.
    EXT4-fs (loop0): Remounting filesystem read-only
    EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_free_blocks:4895: Journal has aborted
    EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_do_update_inode:4893: Journal has aborted
    EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_do_update_inode:4893: Journal has aborted
    EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_ext_remove_space:3068: IO failure
    EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_ext_truncate:4667: Journal has aborted
    EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_orphan_del:2927: Journal has aborted
    EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_do_update_inode:4893: Journal has aborted
    EXT4-fs (loop0): Inode 16 (00000000618192a0): orphan list check failed!
    [...]
    EXT4-fs (loop0): Inode 16 (0000000061819748): orphan list check failed!
    [...]
    EXT4-fs (loop0): Inode 16 (0000000061819bf0): orphan list check failed!
