3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kent Overstreet <kmo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit faa5673617656ee58369a3cfe4a312cfcdc59c81 upstream. The journal replay code starts by finding something that looks like a valid journal entry, then it does a binary search over the unchecked region of the journal for the journal entries with the highest sequence numbers. Trouble is, the logic was wrong - journal_read_bucket() returns true if it found journal entries we need, but if the range of journal entries we're looking for loops around the end of the journal - in that case journal_read_bucket() could return true when it hadn't found the highest sequence number we'd seen yet, and in that case the binary search did the wrong thing. Whoops.
