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 commitbbc605cdb1("ext4: implement support for get/set fs label"). And it became trivially easy to reproduce after commit827891a38a("ext4: update the s_overhead_clusters in the backup sb's when resizing") in v6.0.

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.
