Subject: [next-20101038] Call trace in ext4

Hi,

I have built today linux-next as of next-20101028 in a non-BKL config
(kernel-config attached) on a Debian i386/sid host.

When I start my quassel IRC-client I get reproducibly this call-trace:

The code section looks like:

        if (!page_buffers(page)) {     <--- LINE #2721
                if (__block_write_begin(page, 0, len,
                                        noalloc_get_block_write)) {
                redirty_page:
                        redirty_page_for_writepage(wbc, page);
                        unlock_page(page);
                        return 0;
                }
                commit_write = 1;
        }
...

I am not sure if this is a general ext4 problem or only in a non-BKL setup.

Hope this helps to track down the problem.

Kind Regards,
- Sedat -

P.S.:
I also have tried with patches from [1] and [2], v2 versions attached
to make linux-next happy.
