Hi Mark
Looks like you need to apply the attached patch (for the current
bk kernel or see the link below for an earlier version (which
will require some modification to remove implicit warnings, see
to extern and prototype declarations for __journal_temp_unlink_buffer
in attached patch).
Looking at Anton reply this may not be true but worth a try.

I am still seeing this Oops on ext3 journal with current bk tree, this
patch:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/3/8/147
fixes the problem though required changes to remove implicit declaration
warnings updated patch attached.

Fix destruction of in-use journal_head
journal_put_journal_head() can destroy a journal_head at any time as
long as the jh's b_jcount is zero and b_transaction is NULL. It has no
locking protection against the rest of the journaling code, as the lock
it uses to protect b_jcount and bh->b_private is not used elsewhere in
jbd.
However, there are small windows where b_transaction is getting set
temporarily to NULL during normal operations; typically this is
happening in
__journal_unfile_buffer(jh);
__journal_file_buffer(jh, ...);
call pairs, as __journal_unfile_buffer() will set b_transaction to NULL
and __journal_file_buffer() re-sets it afterwards. A truncate running
in parallel can lead to journal_unmap_buffer() destroying the jh if it
occurs between these two calls.
Fix this by adding a variant of __journal_unfile_buffer() which is only
used for these temporary jh unlinks, and which leaves the b_transaction
field intact so that we never leave a window open where b_transaction is
NULL.
Additionally, trap this error if it does occur, by checking against
jh->b_jlist being non-null when we destroy a jh.
