** Description changed:

  SRU Justification:  After examining the ext4 maintainer's 2.6.28-stable
  tree repository there were a few candidate patches we should consider
  backporting.  These will prevent some cases of Oops', lock contention,
  file corruption, CPU lockups, memory leaks, and fsck errors.
  
  Impact:  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-
  team/2009-June/006142.html
  
  Fix: Backport the following 7 patches
  
  fb68407b0d9efba962c03f55009c797e22f024bc jbd2: Call journal commit callback 
without holding j_list_lock

+ 
+ Testcase: While unable to reproduce the cases, I ran the fs test suite
+ proposed in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-
+ team/2009-June/006147.html before and after applying the patchset and
+ could see no regression.
