** Description changed: + == SRU Justification == + A regression was introduced where ext4_check_descriptors() was getting + called before s_gdb_count was initialized. This regression was + introduced to Xenial in 4.4.0-134. This is fixed by mainline commit + 44de022c4382. + + Commit 44de022c4382 was also cc'd to upstream stable. However, it has + not made it's way into Xenial via stable updates as of yet. + + == Fix == + 44de022c4382 ("ext4: fix false negatives *and* false positives in ext4_check_descriptors()") + + == Regression Potential == + Low. This commit has been cc'd upstream stable, so it has had + additional upstream review. + + == Test Case == + A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter. + The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug. + + + + + Hello, In 16.04 lts (Ubuntu 4.4.0-134.160-generic 4.4.140) with all partitions in ext4 with flag meta_bg : kernel: [ 1905.799557] EXT4-fs (dm-7): ext4_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 0 overlaps block group descriptors kernel: [ 1905.799858] EXT4-fs (dm-7): group descriptors corrupted! Go back with the kernel 4.4.0-133-generic and all partitions mount correctly.
