Subject: [PATCH] ext4: validate external journal superblock checksum
Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2014 12:43:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140908194338.GE10351@birch.djwong.org> (raw)

If the external journal device has metadata_csum enabled, verify
that the superblock checksum matches the block before we try to
mount.
