Yes that ac_2order should be i - 1;
Will fix it in the next update.

I see that the patch queue update doesn't have most of the changes I
have placed at http://www.radian.org/~kvaneesh/ext4/jan-10-2008-ver2/

The patch queue had it modified from schedule_timeout to schedule(). I
am moving it back to the original version. If we have set the task state
to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE it should be schedule_timeout. And at these
place we intent to wait uninterrupted for 1 sec. The place where we
wanted to just yield is ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations.

Will move that to the function definition.
