The ext4 code path to bundle multiple pages for writeback in ext4_bio_write_page() had a bug: we should be clearing buffer head dirty flags before we submit the bio, not in the completion routine. Also don't deference the bio in ext4_end_bio() after the bio_put() call. (I also added a blank line in ext4_bio_write_page(), 'cause my eyes constantly confused the complex 'for' conditions from the first statement in the block.)
