Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] ext4: Remove code duplication in
 ext4_get_block_write_nolock()

There's a really serious bug in this patch which I didn't notice at
first:

> --- a/fs/ext4/inode.c
> +++ b/fs/ext4/inode.c
> @@ -683,7 +683,7 @@ static int _ext4_get_block(struct inode *inode, sector_t iblock,

                            ^^^

This should obviously read:

	if (flags && !(flags & EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_LOCK) && !handle) {

Otherwise xfstests #91 will blow out with a circular lockdep warning.

As a reminder, please do make sure you compile with lockdep enabled
when you run your tests; it's found more than one bug for me!
