Subject: [PATCH] Fix commit of ordered data buffers

  Hi Andrew,

  here is the patch that came out of the thread "set_page_buffer_dirty
should skip unmapped buffers". It fixes several flaws in the code
writing out ordered data buffers during commit. It definitely fixed the
problem Badari was seeing with fsx-linux test.  Could you include it
into -mm? Since there are quite complex interactions with other JBD code
and the locking is kind of ugly, I'd leave it in -mm for a while whether
some bug does not emerge ;). Thanks.

								Honza
