mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.15-rc1 commit b2bbb92f7042e8075fb036bf97043339576330c3 category: bugfix bugzilla: 186203 CVE: NA
--------------------------------
Commit 81414b4dd48 ("ext4: remove redundant sb checksum recomputation") removed checksum recalculation after updating superblock free space / inode counters in ext4_fill_super() based on the fact that we will recalculate the checksum on superblock writeout.
That is correct assumption but until the writeout happens (which can take a long time) the checksum is incorrect in the buffer cache and if programs such as tune2fs or resize2fs is called shortly after a file system is mounted can fail. So return back the checksum recalculation and add a comment explaining why.
