Subject[BLOCK] bh: Ensure bh fits within a page
From
Hi Andrew:

[BLOCK] bh: Ensure bh fits within a page

There is a bug in jbd with slab debugging enabled where it was submitting
a bh obtained via jbd_rep_kmalloc which crossed a page boundary. A lot
of time was spent on tracking this down because the symptoms were far off
from where the problem was.

This patch adds a sanity check to submit_bh so we can immediately spot
anyone doing similar things in future.

Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

While you're at it, could you fix that jbd bug for us :)

Cheers,
