Subject: Re: [PATCH] jbd2: correctly unescape journal data blocks

> Fix a long-standing typo (predating git) that will cause data corruption if a
> journal data block needs unescaping. At the moment the wrong buffer head's data
> is being unescaped.
> 
> To test this case mount a filesystem with data=journal, start creating and
> deleting a bunch of files containing only JBD2_MAGIC_NUMBER (0xc03b3998), then
> pull the plug on the device. Without this patch the files will contain zeros
> instead of the correct data after recovery.
