Subject: Intentionally corrupted fs: "kernel BUG at
 fs/jbd2/transaction.c:161!"

The 10 MiB ext4 image available at

   http://www.niksula.hut.fi/~sliedes/ext4/313.min.ext4.bz2

causes a crash on mainline 3.3.4 kernel at umount time when the
following operations are run (not all of these are probably really
necessary):

1.  mount 313.min.ext4 /mnt -t ext4 -o errors=continue
2.  cd /mnt
3.  cp -r doc doc2 >&/dev/null
4.  find -xdev >&/dev/null
5.  find -xdev -print0 2>/dev/null |xargs -0 touch -- 2>/dev/null
6.  mkdir tmp >&/dev/null
7.  echo whoah >tmp/filu 2>/dev/null
8.  rm -rf /mnt/* >&/dev/null
9.  cd /
10. umount /mnt

See the dmesg output below (the panic is due to panic_on_oops=1).

The image differs from a pristine, fully working ext4 filesystem
available at

   http://www.niksula.hut.fi/~sliedes/ext4/pristine.ext4.bz2

by only one bit:

(This bug report serves also as a preview of the Berserker toolkit
that automates finding such bugs and minimizing the differences to
pristine filesystems. I plan on making the announcement and making the
toolkit available within the next few hours.)
