Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/4]ext4: Fix wrong comparisons in	mext_check_arguments()

Hi Ted,

We found that "fix-wrong-comparisons-in-mext_check_arguments"
in the ext4 patch queue does not fix the objective issue completely.
(The last partial block is not checked in mext_check_arguments().)

Could you replace "fix-wrong-comparisons-in-mext_check_arguments"
in the ext4 patch queue with this patch ?

Regards,
Akira Fujita
