So I'm not sure what you're referring to here.  If there's an ext4
bug, why haven't you reported it to the linux-ext4 list?  I've done a
Google search for "Steigerwald ext4 readahead" and I can't find any
bug report related to kernel oops that are ext4/readahead-related.

No one else has reported such a bug to me, and I run a complete set of
regression tests before I push ext4 changes to Linus.  So I'm not sure
what you're seeing.  But complaining about it in passing on an e-mail
without sending a formal bug report to the linux-ext4 mailing list is
not likely to solve your problem...
