Subject: [PATCH] ext4: lock the xattr block before checksuming it
Date: Fri, 22 May 2020 20:18:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200523031821.501455-1-sultan@kerneltoast.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1490633793174140@kroah.com>

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

commit dac7a4b4b1f664934e8b713f529b629f67db313c upstream.

We must lock the xattr block before calculating or verifying the
checksum in order to avoid spurious checksum failures.

Hi,

I've been experiencing spurious ext4 checksum failures on 4.4 because
this patch is missing (which is quite painful with panic-on-error
enabled). This backport fixes the issue for me.
