ext4: recalucate superblock checksum after updating free blocks/inodes When mounting the superblock, ext4_fill_super() calculates the free blocks and free inodes and stores them in the superblock. It's not strictly necessary, since we don't use them any more, but it's nice to keep them roughly aligned to reality. Since it's not critical for file system correctness, the code doesn't call ext4_commit_super(). The problem is that it's in ext4_commit_super() that we recalculate the superblock checksum. So if we're not going to call ext4_commit_super(), we need to call ext4_superblock_csum_set() to make sure the superblock checksum is consistent. Most of the time, this doesn't matter, since we end up calling ext4_commit_super() very soon thereafter, and definitely by the time the file system is unmounted. However, it doesn't work in this sequence: mke2fs -Fq -t ext4 /dev/vdc 128M mount /dev/vdc /vdc cp xfstests/git-versions /vdc godown /vdc umount /vdc mount /dev/vdc tune2fs -l /dev/vdc With this commit, the "tune2fs -l" no longer fails.
