From f2326fd14a224e4cccbab89e14c52279ff79b7ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baokun Li Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2025 15:39:03 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: preserve SB_I_VERSION on remount 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.
