commit 9a8c5b0d061554fedd7dbe894e63aa34d0bac7c4 upstream.
When expanding a file system using online resize, various fields in the superblock (e.g., s_blocks_count, s_inodes_count, etc.) change. To update the backup superblocks, the online resize uses the function update_backups() in fs/ext4/resize.c. This function was not updating the checksum field in the backup superblocks. This wasn't a big deal previously, because e2fsck didn't care about the checksum field in the backup superblock. (And indeed, update_backups() goes all the way back to the ext3 days, well before we had support for metadata checksums.)
However, there is an alternate, more general way of updating superblock fields, ext4_update_primary_sb() in fs/ext4/ioctl.c. This function does check the checksum of the backup superblock, and if it doesn't match will mark the file system as corrupted. That was clearly not the intent, so avoid to aborting the resize when a bad superblock is found.
In addition, teach update_backups() to properly update the checksum in the backup superblocks. We will eventually want to unify updapte_backups() with the infrasture in ext4_update_primary_sb(), but that's for another day.
Note: The problem has been around for a while; it just didn't really matter until ext4_update_primary_sb() was added by commit bbc605cdb1e1 ("ext4: implement support for get/set fs label"). And it became trivially easy to reproduce after commit 827891a38acc ("ext4: update the s_overhead_clusters in the backup sb's when resizing") in v6.0.
