Sorry for the delay; you sent this to linux-kernel (and not the
linux-ext4 list). It also took me a while to dig up the relevant fix
from my archives; normally, once a bug has been fixed (as this one
was, on June 7, 2012) I don't worry about it any more.
The upstream fix is commit b0dd6b70f0fda17ae9762fbb72d98e40a4f66556.
Note that you are using the 3.3.0 kernel. This is a not long-term
supported kernel, so fixes from upstream are no longer being
backported to it. The official Debian kernel (which tracks the 3.2.x
stable kernel series) has the backported bug fix. So does the 3.4
long-term stable kernel series, as does the 3.5 kernel or any later
kernel.
If you don't know how to backport a kernel patch, or even if you do, I
would strongly suggest that you either go back to the Debian standard
kernel for Wheezy, or track the 3.2.x or 3.4.x long-term stable
kernel. (The fix is in v3.2.20 or later, and v3.4.3 or later ---
where those trees are up to v3.2.28, and v3.4.10, respectively.)
Otherwise, you may very well run into some other kernel bug which has
already been fixed upstream, and you'll just waste your time as well
as various other kernel developers.
