This bug has been there for a long time, but only manifested in 2.3.13-pre for some reason. I've tested this pretty hard, every which way. It looks OK. There was a report against ext3-for-2.4.10 that mark_buffer_clean() was being called against an already-clean buffer. This has not been reproducable (in later kernels, at least). If anyone sees the message "jbd_preclean_buffer_check: clean of clean buffer" come out, please shout. This can only happen if ext3 debugging support is enabled in config.
