Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] ext4: don't allow r/w mounts if metadata blocks
 overlap the superblock

Hi EXT4 ML!

I'm working on a project to perform automatic patch selection for
stable, and automate the testing being done for patches going in
various stable tree.

I got some input from the XFS folks so far, and wanted to get some
input from the EXT4 folks as well.

Below is a mail that would be sent as a response for ext4 patches
tagged for stable and sent to the mailing list. Since this one is
already tagged for stable, these results should be useful for people
to understand if the patch properly applies to various stable trees
and passes testing.

For EXT4, at this point testing is the xfstests tree at
https://github.com/tytso/xfstests , running with "./check -g auto".
Complete build and test logs are available in the links embedded in
the mail.

I'd be happy to get feedback for this. Thanks!
