------- Comment #1 from sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx  2009-02-12 07:24 -------
Finally had some time, and I've tracked this down to the page-writeback.c
changes since .28 - backing them all out the testcase runs overnight.  Still
working out which one and why.  I suppose it's still possible it's an ext4 bug
but if so the page-writeback.c changes exposed it.

It's a classic deadlock; I usually have 2 threads stuck, pdflush vs. the livecd
creator doing an fsync.  Each is waiting for a page the other has locked.
