Thanks Matthew for explaining the problem clearly.

sure, I gave it a try.

I used "const" for bh to avoid warnings from fs/nilfs/alloc.c

But this change alone was still giving me failures. On looking into
usage of b_data, I found we use offset_in_page() instead of bh_offset()
in jbd2. So I added below changes in fs/jbd2 to replace offset_in_page()
to bh_offset()...

With all of above diffs, here are the results.

I guess the above failure (generic/475) could be due to it's flakey
behaviour which Ted was mentioning.


Now, while we are at it, I think we should also make change to reiserfs from
offset_in_page() to bh_offset()

                        kunmap(page);
                        mark_buffer_dirty(tmp_bh);


I will also run "auto" group with ext4/1k with all of above change. Will
update the results once it is done.
