Subject: [PULL] ext3 regression fix (deadlock)

  Hello Linus,

  could you please pull from

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs.git for_linus

to get a fix of an ext3 regression introduced during 3.7 merge window. It
leads to deadlock if you stress the filesystem in the right way (luckily
only if blocksize < pagesize).

Top of the tree is 25389bb. The full shortlog is:

Jan Kara (1):
      jbd: Fix lock ordering bug in journal_unmap_buffer()

The diffstat is

 fs/jbd/transaction.c |    2 ++

							Thanks
								Honza
