    ext4: add checks for errors from jbd2 · 7ffe1ea8
    Hidehiro Kawai authored
    If the journal has aborted due to a checkpointing failure, we
    have to keep the contents of the journal space.  Otherwise, the
    filesystem will lose uncheckpointed metadata completely and
    become inconsistent.  To avoid this, we need to keep needs_recovery
    flag if checkpoint has failed.
    
    With this patch, ext4_put_super() detects a checkpointing failure
    from the return value of journal_destroy(), then it invokes
    ext4_abort() to make the filesystem read only and keep
    needs_recovery flag.  Errors from jbd2_journal_flush() are also
    handled by this patch in some places.
