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.
