From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@huawei.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.17-rc3 commit f2326fd14a224e4cccbab89e14c52279ff79b7ec category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/ID0YYW Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- IMA testing revealed that after an ext4 remount, file accesses triggered full measurements even without modifications, instead of skipping as expected when i_version is unchanged. Debugging showed `SB_I_VERSION` was cleared in reconfigure_super() during remount due to commit 1ff20307393e ("ext4: unconditionally enable the i_version counter") removing the fix from commit 960e0ab63b2e ("ext4: fix i_version handling on remount"). To rectify this, `SB_I_VERSION` is always set for `fc->sb_flags` in ext4_init_fs_context(), instead of `sb->s_flags` in __ext4_fill_super(), ensuring it persists across all mounts.
