ext4: don't allow r/w mounts if metadata blocks overlap the superblock
commit 18db4b4e upstream. If some metadata block, such as an allocation bitmap, overlaps the superblock, it's very likely that if the file system is mounted read/write, the results will not be pretty. So disallow r/w mounts for file systems corrupted in this particular way. Signed-off-by:Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:
