These are a few places I've found in jbd that look like they
may not be 16T-safe, or consistent with the use of unsigned
longs for block containers.
(well, some of these have come from the ext4 work on jbd
as well - although I think some of the ext4/jbd2 modifications
may not be needed, see my earlier messages today).
I think there's one more possibility that the wrap()
function may not be safe IF your last block in the journal
butts right up against the 2^32 block boundary, but that seems
like a VERY remote possibility, and I'm not worrying about it
at this point.
Comments? I'll send this upstream if it looks good.
Thanks,
-Eric
