Badness in __writeback_single_inode

[Chris Boot]

Hi all,

Using 2.6.14-rc5-mm1 with the spinlock inlining patches reversed and a 
couple of reiser4 patches from namesys.com. I mounted 3 CDs in 
succession (different ones, but same supplier) and the kernel spewed 
these messages out for each of the CDs:

Everything seemed to work just fine mind you, just scary messages. :-)
