ouch ...

i guess this explains what static code metrics already suggest:

$ code-quality fs/ext3/ fs/ext4/
errors lines of code errors/KLOC
fs/ext3/ 408 16055 25.4
fs/ext4/ 394 25169 15.6

compared to:

$ code-quality kernel/
errors lines of code errors/KLOC
kernel/ 739 98759 7.4

and i guess our hope is now in:

$ code-quality fs/btrfs/
errors lines of code errors/KLOC
fs/btrfs/ 240 20556 11.6

(which hopefully will be a project done in a much more Linux-ish manner:
open participation, the easy taking of patches, an inclusive,
newbie-friendly contribution atmosphere, etc.)
