From: Greg KH

2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

(cherry picked from commit ff7ef329b268b603ea4a2303241ef1c3829fd574)

I chased the cause of following ext4 oops report which is tested on
ia64 box.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12018

The cause is the size of s_mb_maxs array that is defined as "unsigned
short" in ext4_sb_info structure. If the file system's block size is
8k or greater, an unsigned short is not wide enough to contain the
value fs->blocksize << 3.
