Message-Id: <1237311235-13623-1-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz> Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 18:33:51 +0100 From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Fix bugs and possible data corruption if blocksize < pagesize Hi, lately, I've been tracking some problems with ext3 reported by HP on ia64 and this is what I came with. The first three patches fix real bugs - the first two fix bugs in ext3 leading to false reports of EIO errors from JBD and aborted journal, the third patch fixes a bug in block_write_full_page() which can possibly lead to data corruption. With these patches, don't see the data corruption I was able to reproduce with fsx-linux under UML. I'm not yet sure whether all the problems HP reported are gone (they're testing now) but since this seems to be a nasty problem I'm posting earlier rather than later. Please someone have a look whether my fix and analysis looks sane. Thanks.
