A simple dd oopses the kernel (2.6.24-rc7 with the latest patch queue):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test/foo bs=1M count=8096
EXT4-fs: mballoc enabled
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at fs/ext4/mballoc.c:3148!
The BUG_ON is:
BUG_ON(size <= 0 || size >= EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(ac->ac_sb));
where the value of "size" is 4293920768.
This is due to the overflow of the variable "start" in the
ext4_mb_normalize_request() function.
The patch below fixes it.
