Re: [PATCH] msync: fix incorrect fstart calculation

I can confirm that this patch corrects the ext4 regressions I reported on
3.16-rc1 for data_journal.

Additionally, it corrects regressions for two other tests I have not yet
reported.  Those tests include generic/263 when running with the
data=journal mount option, and generic/219 (a quota test that doesn't use
fsx) when running with all xfstests-bld scenarios (4k, ext4, nojournal, 1k,
etc.) with the exception of bigalloc.  The generic/219 failure on bigalloc in
3.16-rc1 is not a regression, and was present in earlier releases.

With this patch, ext4 3.16-rc3 regression results on x64_64 should look much
more like 3.15 final.

Thanks guys!
Eric
