Well, that's funny. If I run a pristine test2-mm3-1 kernel I don't get
those "Buffer I/O error on device ..." kernel messages anymore, but I do
get the actual I/O error itself.

Putting that dump_stack() call back into buffer_io_error() doesn't
trigger a stack dump either. Different bug perhaps?


Cheers,
Sander
