Bug Description
SRU Justification:
Impact: As mentioned by Ted Tso (see link below) there has been a data corruption issue fixed in ext4 after 2.6.28.y was stopped.
Fix: A cherry pick from upstream from Ted's repo.
Testcase: unfortunately not clearly stated

I'm opening a separate report to track the following issue mentioned from Ted Ts'o

"P.S. There is a known ext4 file system corruption bug which is fixed in the 2.6.30 mainline kernel and in 2.6.29.5. It was found after the stable kernel series stopped updating for 2.6.28, but I do carry a fix for it in my for-stable-2.6.28 branch of the ext4 git tree, located here:

(This is where it's handy to have a file system specialist working at the distribution; when I found the problem, I was able to contact Eric and he made sure the patch was quickly dropped into the F11 kernel.)"
This should be resolved for Karmic but I'm opening a Jaunty nomination for the kernel team to consider a stable release update for Jaunty.
