Subject: jbd: correctly unescape journal data blocks
From: Duane Griffin <duaneg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit: 439aeec639d7c57f3561054a6d315c40fd24bb74
Fix a long-standing typo (predating git) that will cause data corruption if a
journal data block needs unescaping. At the moment the wrong buffer head's
data is being unescaped.
To test this case mount a filesystem with data=journal, start creating and
deleting a bunch of files containing only JFS_MAGIC_NUMBER (0xc03b3998), then
pull the plug on the device. Without this patch the files will contain zeros
instead of the correct data after recovery.
