Hi, Ted.

I am getting some stack traces (since the inclusion of commit
4b4f278c030aa4b6ee0915f396e9a9478d92d610) as follows:

`----

This happens when I'm mounting an ext4 fs with the option auto_da_alloc,
but not when I mount without it.

My current mount options are the following:

    rw,relatime,nobarrier,delalloc,max_batch_time=50000,errors=remount-ro

and the filesystem has journal=writeback (I suspect that this may be the
bit that doesn't play nice with auto_da_alloc).

I don't really need auto_da_alloc (or, at least, think that I don't :-)
), but I just wanted to report this.

If any further information is needed, just let me know.


Regards,
