    Probably from the ext2 reservations stuff. Any chance you could back out:
    
    ext2-reservations.patch
    ext2-reservations-fix.patch
    ext2-reservations-sequential-read-regression-fix.patch
    ext2-reservations-filesystem-bogus-ENOSPC-with-reservation-fix.patch
    ext2-reservations-ext3_clear_inode-avoid-kfree-null.patch
    ext2-reservations-multile-block-allocate-little-endian-fixes.patch
    ext2-reservations-mark-group-descriptors-dirty-during-allocation.patch
    ext2-reservations-nuke-noisy-printk.patch
    ext2-reservations-bring-ext2-reservations-code-in-line-with-latest-ext3.patch
    
    and see if it goes away?
    
    Else I shall pray that Val or Mingming is smarter than I am and can
    see what went wrong ;-)
    
    Thanks,
    
    M.
