So people who just google for "ext4_mb_generate_buddy" can often find old bugs that had similar symptoms. The most recent bugfix in this area was caused by a backport of commit: 007649375f6af2 ext4: initialize multi-block allocator before checking block descriptors which caused errors after a replay. It was reverted in mainline commit: f9ae9cf5d72b39 ext4: revert commit which was causing fs corruption after journal replays You might want to check to see if that might be applicable for your kernel. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
