That is a good idea about testing a file system other than ext4.

There are two other ext4 commits in the bisect range we are testing.  It
would require 8321521 to be Good for it to be either of these:

265dabe ext4: fix wrong assert in ext4_mb_normalize_request()
d4d2e7e ext4: fix zeroing of page during writeback

I'll await your test results before building the next kernel.  I'm going
to look at my test script and see why it is taking so long for me to
reproduce the bug.  I did lower the number of io threads in tiotest
because it was making the system almost unusable due to the io load, but
maybe that is what's needed to reproduce the bug.

While your testing, I'll go ahead and setup some guests with a
filesystem other than ext4 and test.

Bug description:
  Customers have reported running various versions of Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
  on Generation 2 Hyper-V Hosts.    On a random Basis, the file system
  will be mounted Read-Only due to a "disk error" (which really isn't
  the case here).    As a result, they must reboot the Ubuntu guest to
  get the file system to mount RW again.

  The Error seen are the following:

  This relates to the VSS "Windows Server Backup" process that kicks off at 
midnight on the host and finishes an hour and half later.   
  Yes, we do have hv_vss_daemon and hv_kvp_daemon running for the correct 
kernel version we have.   We're currently running kernel version 
3.13.0-49-generic #83 on one system and 3.16.0-34-generic #37 on the other. -- 
We see the same errors on both.
  As a result, we've been hesitant to drop any more ubuntu guests on our 2012R2 
hyper-v system because of this.   We can stop the backup process and all is 
good, but we need nightly backups to image all of our VM's.   All the windows 
guests have no issues of course.   We also have some CentOS based guests 
running without issues from what we've seen.
