2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ (cherry picked from commit 4b70df181611012a3556f017b57dfcef7e1d279f) The ext4_debug() call in ext4_end_io_dio() should be moved after the check to make sure that io_end is non-NULL. The comment above ext4_get_block_dio_write() ("Maximum number of blocks...") is a duplicate; the original and correct comment is above the #define DIO_MAX_BLOCKS up above. Based on review comments from Curt Wohlgemuth.
