Commit <50122847007> ("ext4: fix check to prevent initializing reserved inodes") check the block group zero and prevent initializing reserved inodes. But in some special cases, the reserved inode may not all belong to the group zero, it may exist into the second group if we format filesystem below. mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -g 8192 -N 1024 -I 4096 /dev/sda So, it will end up triggering a false positive report of a corrupted file system. This patch fix it by avoid check reserved inodes if no free inode blocks will be zeroed.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
