Has anyone seen this before? These three traces occured at different times
today when three new user accounts (and associated quotas) were created. This
machine is an NFS server which uses quotas on an ext3 fs (dir_index is on).
Kernel is 2.6.17.11 on an x86 smp w/64G highmem; 4G ram is installed. The
affected filesystem is on a software raid1 of two hardware raid0 volumes

from a

megaraid card.

I think, we found your problem.

ext3_getblk() is not handling HOLE correctly. Does this patch help ?
Mingming, what do you think ?

Looks correct to me, ext3_get_blocks_handle() returning 0 is a valid case when the block is not being mapped(hole).

It would be nice to add a WARN_ON() in the ext3_get_blocks_handle() code when we allocating more than requested (maxblocks) blocks...:)

Badari

ext3_get_blocks_handle() returns number of blocks it mapped.
It returns 0 in case of HOLE. ext3_getblk() should handle
HOLE properly (currently its dumping warning stack and
returning -EIO).
