Hi Greg,

I see that commit 7dac4a1726a9 ("ext4: add validity checks for bitmap block numbers") is marked for stable, but I don't see it queued for any stable branches. Other ext4 patches from the same time frame (end of March) already made their way into stable.

Did this patch get lost, or is it still in your queue ?

Ted told me to drop it due to problems with it, search the archives it was there somewhere...

It's in my "pending" queue to drag back in hopefully soon when the problem is correctly fixed.

Thanks a lot for the update ... that will help making sure that it won't find its way into a ChromeOS kernel.
