This patch introduced a bug (together with a fix). I'm sorry that
my "Linux Kernel Mailing List" filtering techniques are lacking and
I missed it completely. Searching on google I can see it was hiding
under "[GIT PULL] block/writeback bits for 2.6.34-rc". I have only
seen it now, in git-commits-head ml.

I wish filesystem related patches where CC to linux-fsdevel, and/or
posted as individual patches, sigh.

I'll post a fix as reply to this mail. Linus please submit.
