ext4: avoid kernel warning when writing the superblock to a dead device
commit e8680786 upstream. The xfstests generic/475 test switches the underlying device with dm-error while running a stress test. This results in a large number of file system errors, and since we can't lock the buffer head when marking the superblock dirty in the ext4_grp_locked_error() case, it's possible the superblock to be !buffer_uptodate() without buffer_write_io_error() being true. We need to set buffer_uptodate() before we call mark_buffer_dirty() or this will trigger a WARN_ON. It's safe to do this since the superblock must have been properly read into memory or the mount would have been successful. So if buffer_uptodate() is not set, we can safely assume that this happened due to a failed attempt to write the superblock.
