2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Aneesh Kumar K.V (cherry picked from commit 791b7f08954869d7b8ff438f3dac3cfb39778297) When iterating through the pages which have mapped buffer_heads, we failed to update the b_state value. This results in allocating blocks at logical offset 0.
