2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Aneesh Kumar K.V (cherry picked from commit c2774d84fd6cab2bfa2a2fae0b1ca8d8ebde48a2) During filesystem recovery we may be doing a truncate which expects some of the mballoc data structures to be initialized. So do ext4_mb_init before recovery.
