ext4: clear buffer verified flag if read meta block from disk
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit d9befed upstream.

The metadata buffer is no longer trusted after we read it from disk
again because it is not uptodate for some reasons (e.g. failed to write
back). Otherwise we may get below memory corruption problem in
ext4_ext_split()->memset() if we read stale data from the newly
allocated extent block on disk which has been failed to async write
out but miss verify again since the verified bit has already been set
on the buffer.

Fix this by clearing buffer's verified bit if we read meta block from
disk again.
