I think this is very broken.
I just got this while compiling:

followed by basically a dead machine (SIGSEGV's, unresponsive X etc).
I assume it died with some major jbd2 or ext4 lock held.
The most obvious candidate for a culprit would seem to be
2143c1965a76 "jbd2: speedup jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()"
which is the commit that introduced the assert that triggers. Ted? Jan?
Nothing particularly odd was going on. I was reading email in a
browser while doing an allmodconfig build with "make -j16". That's
literally all I ever tend to do.
