Is it really correct that once the filesystem gets shutdown you clear the previous error from the journal? Because if we hit some real fs corruption, the journal gets aborted, and then someone calls ext4_shutdown(), we'd clear that error which looks like a bug to me because that shutdown hardly fixes the fs corruption...
That's not what the code does. If journal->j_errno is set, then we won't clear it, for precisely what concern you've articulated.
