Sorry for a long replay.... It takes me longer that a minute to fix all
that crap i've found. It is appeared that running xfstests plus freeze/unfrees
in a background opened an Pandora's box. First it is apeared that JBD2
has a bug since "Nov 6 2008". After that I've prepared incorrect patch
for jbd2 which corrupted journal and it is appeared that error handling
in ext4_fill_super is also broken. Nor than less patches are already available here:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/230111/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/230112/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/230113/
And patched kernel survived with all my tests.
