Ah, many thanks for this bisection.

Ted, any ideas here?  Should I drop this from the stable trees, and you
revert it from Linus's?  Or something else?

Note, I do also have 170417c8c7bb ("ext4: fix block validity checks for
journal inodes using indirect blocks") in the trees, which was supposed
to fix the problem with this patch, am I missing another one as well?

(side note, it was mean not to mark 170417c8c7bb for stable, when the
patch it was fixing was marked for stable, I'm lucky I caught it...)

thanks,

greg k-h
