Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/5] ext4: unlock group before ext4_error

Hi All,

I intent to sent only three patches. I had some debug
patches in between so git format-patch generated patch
number wrongly. I have also the inode uninit flag clearing race
patch. But I am finding a hang during rename. So didn't sent
the patch in the series. Attaching below for reference. Once
I fix the rename hang I will send the patch again.

commit 0181ece15c1e89c2825e581f03abe746fdebb7cf
Author: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date:   Thu Nov 20 23:45:02 2008 +0530

    ext4: Fix the race between read_inode_bitmap and ext4_new_inode
    
    We need to make sure we update the inode bitmap and clear
    EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag with sb_bgl_lock held. We look
    at EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT and reinit the inode bitmap each
    time in ext4_read_inode_bitmap (introduced by
    c806e68f5647109350ec546fee5b526962970fd2 )
