Ext4 Jaunty SRU tracking bug

Accepted linux into jaunty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I have been running this on an affected system all weekend and have not seen any regressions. Furthermore, I tried to trigger this today by looping through an untar/rm -rf cycle on some large and fairly deep tar files while doing a kernel compile and there were no lockups (I used to be able to reproduce a lockup fairly easily with this procedure).

Thanks, Jamie!

I've been running the aforementioned loop for over 3 hours with no lockups or other problems. Before, doing this would lock the machine up in less than 5 minutes. This system seems very solid now.

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 2.6.28-15.52
