From 89481b5fa8c0640e62ba84c6020cee895f7ac643 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baokun Li libaokun1@huawei.com Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2022 15:43:43 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: correct inconsistent error msg in nojournal mode
When we used the journal_async_commit mounting option in nojournal mode, the kernel told me that "can't mount with journal_checksum", was very confusing. I find that when we mount with journal_async_commit, both the JOURNAL_ASYNC_COMMIT and EXPLICIT_JOURNAL_CHECKSUM flags are set. However, in the error branch, CHECKSUM is checked before ASYNC_COMMIT. As a result, the above inconsistency occurs, and the ASYNC_COMMIT branch becomes dead code that cannot be executed. Therefore, we exchange the positions of the two judgments to make the error msg more accurate.
